Peer may need a weapon (other than her tennis raquet) to overcome Martina Hingis the way she is playing these days.
This should be a very interesting match.

Shahar Peer gets that Monica Seles look on her face. She looks like a relentless competitor.

"It's going to be a great match," said Peer, who made the third round in 2005. No it's not. Go Martina!

Yes, I think Hingis will beat Peer, but they have similar styles. I read that Peer is somewhat of a tactician on the court too. There could be some pretty long rallies.

Headline by the blatantly anti-Semitic AFP.

It certainly was an eye-catching headline.

Israeli soldier Peer Aims to
Gun Down Hingis (French Open)
yahoo.com ^ | 6/3/06 |
PARIS (AFP) - Israeli soldier Shahar Peer was one of the top marksmen in her military training and now she has Martina Hingis in her sights at the French Open.
The 19-year-old Peer knocked out Russian sixth seed Elena Dementieva 6-4, 7-5 on Saturday and faces Hingis on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals.
Win or lose, Peer will continue to combine her tennis career with her obligation to serve two years military service with the Israeli army.
"I had to train with weapons during my two and half weeks basic training. I was one of the best in shooting. I really liked it and it was a great experience," said Peer who is the first Israeli to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam since Anna Smashnova here in 1998.

To: MrCruncher
I really don't see that article as anti-Israeli writing. I see that as a writer using her military experience intelligently in the article.
I hope you aren't too serious, but maybe you are.

I did not think it was appropriate to use those terms. In today's world where Islamic terrorist target sporting events, you had to read halfway through the article to realize they were not being literal.
To: All
By the way, Maria Sharapova leading 5-1 in a third set........... fell apart and lost (5-7) in another match today in France.
