Men pretend to be in to the competition in women’s tennis even though everybody knows we watch it to see the ladies running around in skirts and shorts as they bounce and grunt. Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams are two of the more popular women on tour, but both have been eliminated from the French Open. Who do we stare at (root for) now that Sharapova, the Williams sisters, and Ana Ivanovic are no longer in contention?

The women’s draw at the French Open features Dominika Cibulkova taking on Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuznetsova matching up with Samantha Stosur. I don’t know enough about women’s tennis to give an educated opinion on who will win, but I do have my own method for determining the winner.

Dominika Cibulkova looks better than Dinara Safina, and Samantha Stosur looks better than Svetlana Kuznetsova so the final will be Cibulkova against Stosur.

Congratulations to Dominika Cibulkova, the 2009 French Open champion.

Tennis star Serena Williams

Dinara Safina knocked off Serena Williams on Friday at the German Open bringing Serena’s 17-match winning streak to an end. Serena talks about the loss on her website, and says it’s better to lose at the German Open than at Roland Garros. Serena will be packing a little something extra for her competition at the French Open after hearing players celebrate her loss at the German Open.

It was funny when I lost I was in the locker room and I could hear the entire players lounge really loud like really happy and joyous. Like down goes the champ! Someone beat her!!! It was like a big hoopla…. I just smiled to myself thinking you just wait… just wait……

Williams is off to a good start this season, and now that the other ladies on tour have pissed her off, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Serena make a run on the clay courts. I’m always hoping Serena wins, especially a Slam, but I’m really hoping she does another dance routine in the Roland Garros karaoke booth.
