The cellular telephone had a chance for a starring role in one of the world's biggest sporting events Saturday--and flopped.
After upsetting defending champion Serena Williams at the Wimbledon tennis championships, Russian teenager Maria Sharapova borrowed her father's cell phone to call Mom from Center Court. With a worldwide television audience watching, Sharapova's father passed the phone down through the crowd to her daughter.
Edit2:Apparently, her new found fame has pzoned her website.
Edit3:
Her victory is the first for a non-American in the women's final since Czech Novotna in 1998, which is also the last year neither Venus Williams nor her sister held one of the four Grand Slam titles between them.
I never though much of Anna K's looks...she's cute, but she never did much for me. Again, overexposure might have something to do with it. Maria I think looks a lot cuter, though she's still far too young and petite to be considered hot.
Um, can you say plate face? Her face looks like a cake that just came out of the oven. I can just see myself scraping the icing...errr...makeup off of her face. I'd still hit it though.
While tomorrow's mens finals don't hold any of the hotness factor Sharapova brings to the court - it should be interesting none the less. Federer vs Roddick is going to be entertaining.
