I don't even care whom she is dating. I want Maria Sharapova out of the US Open NOW because I cannot stand to hear her scream like she is being poked with a sharp stick every time she swings at a ball.
From The Old Gray Whore:
Maria Sharapova walked purposefully onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium court in an elegant black Audrey Hepburn cocktail dress adorned with shiny crystal beads. Where was the party?
Andy Roddick wore a black collared shirt when he followed her onto the showcase court a little more than an hour later.
They say that after a while, couples tend to look alike. But Sharapova and Roddick would first have to consider themselves a couple. They denied that they were any more than friends who happen to travel in the same tennis circles.
But last night they were in the same place at the same time, playing very much alike — that is to say, fiercely and efficiently, blistering a combined 31 aces past their flat-footed opponents.
In her first-round match at the United States Open — moved from Tuesday night because of rain — the third-seeded Sharapova dispatched 17-year-old Michaella Krajicek, 6-3, 6-0, in 59 minutes. In his second-round match, the ninth-seeded Roddick eliminated Kristian Pless, a qualifier from Denmark, 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-3, in 91 minutes.
Perhaps they had somewhere better to be. It was, after all, Roddick’s 24th birthday.
“Is it his birthday?” Sharapova said after her match. “I had no idea.”
She left the grounds of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center before Roddick’s match ended, but not before responding to a direct question about whether she and Roddick were dating.
“You know what, I really don’t talk about my personal life,” she said. “When two tennis players know each other and are friends, and are known around the world, people are going to talk. That’s exactly what’s happening.”
