Australian Open - Women's 3rd Round
2 Maria Sharapova d 25 Venus Williams - 61 63
This post isn't really about the match but about the pre-match chatter.
I didn't watch the match as it was on in the middle of the night in LA.
But I saw plenty of pre-match commentary.
And ALL of it sucked.
All of the ESPN people actually gave Venus almost a 50-50 chance.
They spoke about her like it was 5 years ago.
I love Venus but honestly who on earth really thought V would come close?
I get that they are all friend and need to kiss ass.
The worst offender of this is that Justine Gimelstob.
Listening to American commentators commentate on American players...
Is beyond annoying.

And Leo got a couple great matches too. Including the epic Fed 5-setter.
Commentator Ted Robinson suggested that Leo was an Oscar winner.
Um, he wishes!
Just keep making those films with Scorcese. And it'll happen. Eventually.
