Alla Kudryavtseva beat her fellow-Russian, the more famous and irritatingly noisy Maria Sharapova straight sets in Wimbledon as another seed bites the dust!
I used to be a fan of Maria but no longer am. There is nothing in her game that excites me anymore. She does not have an outstanding forehand (like Steffi) or backhand, no killer serve nor the sublime skill that Hingis had in her prime. These days, she makes the headlines due to her clothes, her father or her seriously loud shrieking on court. And yes, when she loses. Like tonight.
So no tears were shed by moi as Maria leaves Wimbledon empty handed yet again. In fact, it was a joy to see Alla skipping like a small girl given a new toy when she finally won the game. The world no. 154 beating the 3rd seed!!!
Maria and her dad were not the only sad Russians going to sleep to sleep. Hundreds of Russian football fans must find slumber hard to come by as they replay the scenes of how Spain outplayed them in the semis for the Euro 2008. The only consolation? Well, they lost only by 3-0, an improvement over a couple of weeks ago when they lost 4-0!!!
The Spain in the rain wasn't very plain!
*Taken from his debut solo album, it is about the repercussions of the cold war and uses a theme by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
