Totally Sexist Makiri Note

It's odd, given Maria Kirilenko's esteem in the women's tennis glam-
stakes, but I really think she is less photogenic than telegenic, and
have never found a photo that I think really does her justice:

You really can't appreciate her 'til you see her slither up to the
baseline and prepare to receive, like some kinda wild animal . . . .

Take a deep breath, take a walk, cool off, ;plot a bit, and serve
again.

You can't really appreciate her 'til you see her sucking your balls. How
about that one for a sexist quote...

Not that her photos are _bad_, mind you (can SI be wrong?).

But you get movement, carriage, expression in video that snapshots
have to be very very good-- very very lucky-- to capture.

Yes, I find her far more attractive than Sharapova. I would put
Sharapova behind Kirilenko, Ivanovic, no offense meant to Shara fans.

Kirilenko looks like the product of Russian Soviet style training.
They must have made her work out very hard starting at a very young
age, probably even younger than most tennis players start. The good
thing is that she is very strong for her diminutive size, very fast
and disciplined. The bad thing is that her growth appears to be
stunted.
These observations do not mean that she is not a likable person. She
is very likable and I hoped for her to win. Maybe next time.
