Here they are, the 2014 Wimbledon champions!
And here's the 2013 champion.
Miguel Morales' excellent article in Forbes on the marketing of WTA players is definitely worth reading. I was especially gratified to see his take on the "Strong Is Beautiful" campaign, which I've always found offensive.
Petra Kvitova is the new world number 4; Genie Bouchard is the new world number 7. Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci share the number 1 spot in doubles again. Kvitova is now number 5 on the Road To Singapore.
You can now get to know Tereza Smitkova.

I hate the Strong is Beautiful campaign. Strength is strength, it is a worthy attribute on its own and has no need to be beautiful.

Well, God forbid the women should be seen as athletes.
ReplyDeleteJust some trivia, that I am sure someone has pointed out somewhere. 2011 was the first year Kvitova and Djokovic won Wimbledon. They repeated in the same year 2014. Just thought it was interesting.
