racketeering

Steady yourselves, ladies. I have bad news. Tennis star and out lesbian Amélie Mauresmo formally announced her retirement yesterday. That smokin’ hot, one-handed backhander has called it quits. Now that Mauresmo has hung up her racket, who could possibly be the next lesbian tennis star to rule court? Our bet --wish--is for Svetlana Kuznetsova.

As a lesbian I'm usually a big fan of the ladies, but I can’t get behind Serena Williams' behavior during the US Open semi finals. She was fined $10,000 for telling a lines official that she would "stick a fucking ball down her fucking throat, so help me God!" That outburst came close behind her smashing her racket, resulting in a fine of $500.

It’s the start of the U.S. Open in Queens, New York, but if you want to know boring stats about tennis players go to ESPN or the official site or something. The Open promises fashion from Maria Sharipova, a Venus and Serena Williamsmatch-up andKim Clijsters and Dinara Safina.
