Doubles divas From the Page 2 mailbag |
We couldn't be a fly on the wall to hear this conversation, so we asked you to help tell us what Anna Kournikova and Martina Hingis were saying to each other.
"And then he told me that my eyes were bluer than the bluest blue line ... and my smile was more beautiful than an open net, and ..." "C'mon Anna does that garbage really work in Russia?" Todd Ommen New York "I think that letting you put that mirror on your racket was a big mistake Anna." Bill Eaton New York "I don't care what you say about those silly tournament wins, I have more websites than you do." Jeffrey Cook II Baltimore "Listen up Martina, if anyone asks you about this rock on my finger, just tell them it is a tool to straighten up my strings." Jeremiah Vecs San Diego "Are you sure you want to get married, Anna? I mean you have a bright future in ten--- ... Congratulations!!" Mike Jackson Brookhaven, Penn. "Hey Anna, do you see that guy in the fourth row? He's kind of cute." "Yeah, but he has a full set of teeth, I'm not interested." Michael Gloucester, Va. "Pete Sampras ... boxers or briefs?" Matt Carthage, N.Y. "This one time, at tennis camp ..." Rick Cario Pittsburgh, Penn. "I know Martina, but sometimes I just wish people would appreciate me for my forehand instead of my back end." Matt New Jersey "Hey, you know you can file your nails with a tennis racket?!" Mike Staten Island, N.Y. "Segei or Pavel?" "Whoever brings me the biggest piece of ice." Paul Rosano Cheshire, Conn. "Anna, our competition looks pretty tough. What should we do?" "How can you even think about tennis at a time like this? I mean, my racket totally clashes with my eyeshadow." Nathan Fitzgerald Grand Rapids, Mich. "You know what Anna, I really don't feel like playing tennis today. I taped some old episodes of Dawson's, and they're right in my bag ..." "Lets go 'Tina! I'll bring the popcorn!" Dave Beacher East Stroudsburg, Penn. "What's the matter, Anna? Your rock stuck in the racket again?" Daffney Orlando, Fla. "Titles-schmitles! My boyfriend totally plays in the NHL. What does yours do?" Peter F. Seattle "So, I look over at him, and catch his eye, and I say, "You're no ball boy, you're a ball MAN." "Oooh, that's a killer line!" Jack Mannion Manassas, Va. "So HE says, "But I can shoot a puck 100 mph!" and I said, "You can't use that every time we have a fight!" Matt Rockville Centre, N.Y. "And then there's Grape Nuts ... no grapes, no nuts ... what's the deal with that??" Nick Santa Cruz, Calif. "Well, if we lose this point we can be shopping by 2:30." Kurt Oechsle Sacramento, Calif. "Well, Martina, if you just diversify your portfolio, then you won't be wiped out by market fluctuations. ... It's all relative." Eric South Orange, N.J. "You blondes may have more fun, but brunettes have better forehands." Dhivy Jayaseelan Herndon, Va. "Martina, how does this thingee work again?" Chris Moore Germantown, Tenn. "Hey Martina, I'm thinking of suing Sergei for everything he's got. You know a good attorney?" Brian Linnane Washington, D.C. "So, then Pavel's available, right?" Dave Deaz Phoenix, Ariz. "Sorry about that last shot Martina, but these strings just don't seem right, and this new handle is slick, and ..." "Save it Anna, its not the wand ... it's the magician." Alex Redmond Baltimore And finally, here is what Reuters stated was happening: Anna Kournikova, left, and Martina Hingis, speak during their doubles final against Elena Likhovtseva and Cara Black at the Acura Classic on Aug. 5, 2001 in Carlsbad, Calif. Likhovtseva and Black won in three sets 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories |
