...because they care less about being "polite" and "PC" then the men. Who would have thought?
I actually like Maria Sharapova as a person. She's sort of the "Novak" of the women's tour. Except that the tour isn't "PC" and the Williams sisters and Jelena are also part of some trashing/bashing. I just don't like watching Maria mostly because of her shrieks. And there was also a backlash against her because she was considered the "next best thing" by American media once she won Wimbledon and poor girls who had just as awesome runs like Sveta or Anastasia Myskina (who is way hotter than Maria Sharapova in my opinion) were shafted. Sveta won the U.S. Open, and yet it was all MS. Maybe because MS won her slam first, but really because she won Wimbledon and that she was considered "hot". Hot at 16/17? I think she is hotter now because she doesn't look like a kid. I cringe when I see older pictures of her from Wimbledon 2004 and wonder how the media could be such pedophiles and get away with it. I also have many unjustified reasons for not liking people. I, for some reason, didn't like Justine and didn't want her to be that dominant, despite liking her game. The Williams sisters bring great athleticism to the game but I also can't stand their shrieks most of all, and then some of their attitude. Jelena rubbed me the wrong way the first time I saw her, but her smiles drew me in and though she'll never surplant Sveta, Amelie, and Ana on my list I still like her enough to want her to win. I didn't like Nicole Vaidisova for beating Amelie and I still haven't recovered (though I am fine with Lucie Safarova, huh). I still don't like Tatiana Golovin either, while Elena Dementieva has said some out-of-place things but I somewhat like her (a little of the non-PC is probably why). And Viktoria Azarenka's grunt still bothers me and it's also hard for me to watch her play because of that. And poor Daniela, who I didn't like because her anorexia bothered me and the fact that she's out there competing for top spots against my other girls - hard to like them all. Her game, and really none of the top players have that bad of games. I think the tour is going to get better once they are over this "power beating out crafty people" movement.
Anyway, I just realized that if the ATP Tour becomes a "farce" that bashes Novak without care (aka all bashing and hypocricy and no love for Novak), then I'll have no problems turning my back on it and watching the somewhat more "brainless" tennis of the WTA. But I don't believe that will happen. Just something I wanted to state.

I'm pretty sure Hantuchova has never suffered from anorexia nervosa. As far as I know, she had none of the key symptoms, other than weight loss. When her parents divorced, she kind of went to pieces, but--to my knowledge--there were no gender identity, excessive control or body dysmorphic issues involved. Considering that the weight mass threshold was changed, she may have met that, but that is merely unhealthy weight loss.
I thought it was due to stress that she lost weight, so I automatically thought of anorexia. Thanks for clearing that up!
