THE lady tennis stars of Wimbledon, especially Maria Sharapova, have been criticised for squealing when playing their shots.

Actually, I found the phenomenon quite beguiling and it certainly didn’t stop me appreciating the tennis.

No, what if anything did that was the sheer beauty of the spectacle – and I’d be the first to admit that watching someone like Maria cavorting about in a skimpy costume makes it well-nigh impossible to concentrate on anything else.

In fact she’s one of the most gorgeous lasses I’ve ever set eyes on, and I was quite fed up when she got beaten by Serena Williams.

Serena may be a good tennis player, but she’s got absolutely nothing going in the looks department.
