Wimbledon, a.k.a. the greatest of annual sporting events, began two days ago. Its second day featured men's number two seed Rafael Nadal and the newly-crowned women's number one, Ana Ivanovic. The post match coverage really blew my mind:
The segment that followed Nadal's match, Nadal Pleased to Win 'Strange Match', was perfectly reasonable, discussing the ups and downs of his performance that day. Chalk it up.
So I headed over to find out what happened in Ivanovic's match, only to find this gem: Ivanovic Looking for Love. The video, in which the reporter cheekily describes his efforts to liven up the interview process, focuses on the tough questions: Does she have a boyfriend? Does she get love letters? If she could get an animal, what kind of animal would she get? (I'm fucking serious- watch it.)
Now, I'm as smitten with Ana as anyone. She's gorgeous, charming, and talented. But I expect more during Wimbledon, which the British media is supposed to hold in the highest regard. After all, this is the most prestigious event in tennis, the game that gave us feminist icons like Billie Jean King; the only game I can think of in which the women are held in the same esteem and limelight as the men. Let's be professional, people.
...Although, when all is said and done, I must admit: I was relieved to hear she's single. God damnit, she's such a babe.
