Babe, set and match: How looks count for more than talent when they decide which girls will play on Centre Court

By EMILY ANDREWS and COLIN FERNANDEZ 29th June 2009

When it comes to choosing which women play on Centre Court, good looks count for more than big shots.

While a succession of easy-on-the-eye unknowns have appeared in Wimbledon's prime arena, the top women's seeds have been relegated to lesser courts.

Just in: some people DON’T get Playboy for the articles!

I was reading this after reading your other post.

Who would you rather see?

Maria Kirilenko

Or

Serena Williams?

[Steelfish]

Wow!- the contrast. Thanks for the pic post!

Ah, and I thought tennis was a game where Love meant Nothing!?!?!?

LOL @ Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia

That tears it! I’m not joining the pro tour. I refuse to be just another beefcake!

This one looks like his jock strap is too tight:

I didn’t know Marvin Hagler played tennis in drag. Well, maybe I shouldn’t have said that because Mr.Hagler is actually better looking than Ms. Williams

“She”

It’s very possible to catch a beautiful woman in an unattractive pose, and that’s what they’ve done with Serena Williams. Catch a few shots of Serena smiling in a calm pose and you’ll see what I mean.

Of course, my friend’s 6-year-old son summed up this discussion best. My friend asked her son if one of the neighbor girls was pretty. He thought about it a little while and said, “All girls are a little pretty.”

Amen.

And we're sure of this, yes?

At six I thought all girls had cooties.

yikes! power thighs on court 2!

She has had better moments...

My Sons would tell everyone how pretty their Mommy is. Anyone who would listen. Of course, it helped because I always told her how pretty she is. They would overhear this all the time, and follow suit.

She, however, thought I was the one with cooties. Been divorced two plus years now.

Serena Williams will always be "ugly" to me. It's necessarily her looks. It's her attitude and on court demeanor coupled with the atrocious screaming. I don't like her and never will.

She's wholly ungracious and arrogant. When she and her sister were young they could say what ever they wanted and no one complained. When Martina Hingis basically said the very same things they all complained that she should be more gracious. There is a clear double standard when it comes to the Williams sisters. Even their father runs around calling everyone a racist when they don't get what they want.

Beautiful women both

[Man50D]

Nice trophy!

It's necessarily her looks.

Oooops! I meant to say "It's NOT necessarily her looks."
