YOU'RE one to talk about posts lacking any intelligence? You've already won that award here, buddy!

Perhaps you should go back to your room and cuddle with all the Sharapova posters you've got plastered all over your walls before your mommy cuts off your Internet privileges.

Breakpoint, I do not always share your POV (actually, I often disagree with you) but I respect your passion and your arguments are well articulated IMHO. I suspect many others feel the same, so don't let anyone provoke you into mudslinging.

Just my $.02 feel free to disregard....

hahahaha i was actually thinking about that yesterday. God her forehand is SO ugly when she's rushed. Forget Roddick's serve, I don't see how her wrist isnt completely torn off by now doing that repeatedly.

i think at wimbledon they measured the level of her screeching in decibels, maybe they shud get those installed with hawkeye to outlow certain levels of yelling. i mean look guys like nadal and kuerten grunt, but this is outright screaming at the top of your lungs. theres a difference between an unconscious release of sound during a hard struck ball (i grunt sometimes, on like winners or something) but this is like constant, regardless of how poorly its hit, and i hate it when she misses cuz her screams transform into that blood curdling shriek. oh man. im generally a fan of hers, i usually want her to win and stuff, but man is my patience ever wearing thin

give it to him, what he said was cr*p.

anyways, on topic, i would hope they'd ban screaming, even though they wouldnt do that. but if they did, i would hope and pray sharapova does keep doing it, gets throw out of the tour, and then becomes my coach

That would put an end to her shrieking. Hopefully.

just curious? i've heard about jelena dokic's, mary pierces, and the williams sisters fathers, doing crazy things. what exactly has yuri done to put himsef that category? he rarely talks to the press, and generally sits watches marias matches. dont think i saw him even move during plo or the nasdaq.

Maria would quit the wta tour.
Get a boob job and become the next jenna jamieson.
With JCF to star and Yuri to direct.

I wish some other WTA Pro would start mocking her during their match.

Just totally go overboard with a scream everytime she strikes the ball. And if the umpire says anything, then she has to say it to both of them.

if i were playing against her, I would wait for her to come into the net, then i would tee off on the ball and aim at her. And it would be just to bad if she caught one right in the mush

She'd quit the WTA and start her own tour. And probably put the WTA out of business. Then the WTA would be back to Venus, Serena, and the bulldikes.

Saw that once, couple years ago when Maria was still new on the tour. There were complaints at that time. It didn't work . . . they both just skreeched louder and louder. It was really funny watching them try to out scream each other..

If it annoys me this much watching it on TV, can you imagine how annoying it must be to Shreikapova's opponents?

Breakpoint, Leave Maria Sharapova alone man!....hehehe...I've realized you have been on her case for a while. No more racquet testing?

It's because she's been on TV incessantly as of late it seems, and that screaming is absolutely ridiculous and should be illegal IMHO. If she played like Hingis I might even be willing to put up with it but the screaming combined with her ugly game is just too much for this tennis fan to take. LOL.

No racquet testing as I'm recuperating from an elbow injury.
