Wertheim's women's draw thoughts are (almost) complete bullshit

Sigh. I'm kinda sick of all the "watch tennis to see the female hotties" chitchat that goes on. It started long before Maria Sharapova, and honestly, it usually doesn't bug me that much because in the end if people are watching tennis, all the better. Who cares about the reason why?

Well, okay, so now I'm getting tired of it. I definitely don't discourage anyone to watch tennis for whatever reason, but seriously, I expect a little more high quality commentary out of someone being paid to write about tennis than "you should watch this match because so-and-so wears tiny shorts". Good job, Jon. I bet nothing like that shows up in your men's draw commentary.

First-round matches to watch

Hantuchova vs. Bethanie Mattek: If only for the fashion statements.

Sharapova vs. Krajicek: Brutal first match for third seed.

Myskina vs. Azarenka: Upset special?

Tatiana Golovin vs. Ashley Harkleroad: Who wears short shorts?

Vaidisova vs. Chanda Rubin: The future versus the past.

Schiavone vs. Romina Oprandi: Pasta lovers' special.

Sharapova does have a great chance to win this open. But I don't see Nicole Vaidisova making it to the final.
