It puts extra pressure on Bouchard. I mean, in the case of Sharapova, she actually <i>won</i> Wimbledon. <br /><br />For some reason, this makes me think of Kristi Yamaguchi.

Then, two Czech men attack Petra for a smart business decision. <br />Envy is one of the underlying motivating forces, though not the only one. <br />It's rude, crude and unrefined.

Nothing against Eugenie from me, but it was Petra's triumph, and she should have been left alone to enjoy it. Call it afterglow- stolen by invidious idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
