intertribal: (haute tension)
[personal profile] intertribal

In November, the tennis-starved citizenry of Santiago, Chile, showed up expecting to watch a benign hour of net showmanship featuring Hingis, the No. 1-ranked player in women's tennis, and Kournikova, reputedly the most downloaded pinup in any realm. Players call these quick-cash exhibitions "hit-and-giggle shows." So why was Kournikova weeping?

A close call had gone against Hingis. She appealed to Kournikova, this being a friendly match. Kournikova agreed with the line judge. During the next changeover, Hingis was reportedly livid. "Do you think you are the queen?" she seethed. "Because I am the queen!"

Not in the pic, in the pic they're doubles partners. No idea why they were doubles partners; when they lost they would throw trophies at each other. My guess is cuz Kournikova was hot and Hingis was the #1 who wasn't unattractive. (http://images.hollywoodgrind.com:9000/images/2007/11/anna-kournikova-and-martina-hingis.jpg)

Both utterly lame, imo.
