Let’s face it, if you were to pull some stranger off the street tomorrow and ask him who won the last U.S. Open or the last Wimbledon, they couldn’t tell ya. Why? Cause tennis as a viable sport falls somewhere between pro soccer and high school soccer: no one gives a crap. I’m just sayin’. But you know what everyone knows for sure? Who Maria Sharapova is. Why, you ask? Because Maria Sharapova is Russian, she’s tall, she’s blonde, and oh yeah, when she grunts as she races back and forth on the court to bash those little yellow balls, we don’t think, “Man, all that grunting is kinda annoying”. In fact, we think something else, and that’s precisely why people even care about tennis. Well, in so much as we “care” enough to know there exists a sport called tennis, and Maria Sharapova plays it professional. Here’s the Russian phenom in the latest issue of GQ. Tennis? What tennis?
