Anna was never
booed. More and more, Maria
is doing things and
saying things that make
tennis fans upset with her.
Her fifteen are up.

...the Russian was also forced to face the wrath of the Roland Garros crowd after a disputed point in the deciding set. As Sharapova started her service motion at 7-7, 30-love, Schnyder tried to call time. Sharapova went ahead and hit - she said she saw Schnyder's hand after finishing the serve - and when Schnyder let the ball go by, Sharapova had her first ace of the tournament. 'I only saw her hand up when I finished the serve,' Sharapova said. Sharapova, who remained imperturbable while Schnyder was arguing with the umpire, was booed by the crowd. From that moment on, fans jeered and whistled derisively at Sharapova, including when she would pump a fist after winning a point, when she went to the change rackets in the middle of a game, and when the match ended. 'It's pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Teresa at the same time,' said Sharapova, who pumped her fist and screamed encouragement to herself throughout the third set. THROUGH BUT BOOED |
