A few days ago there was a post here about Jelena Dokic, where the writer said she was a former "Grand Slam Finalist" (after discussion somebody explained here that she was a DOUBLES finalist, which I think the writer of the original piece did not know).
From YAHOO Sports: (http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/news;_yl...v=st&type=lgns

"Playing in her first tournament since Wimbledon, Sharapova raced out to a 4-0 lead in the first set en route to the triumph."

The score of the match was 6-0, 6-3. So, after she raced to a 4-0 lead, she... tap danced to 6-0? She blundered all the way to 6-0, and then the match?
Days like this make me wonder how come some people get those juicy Yahoo! jobs when they obviously can't tell a foot fault from a foot note.

OMG, this is just SO cynical. Apparently, someone didn't open up their new WTA Rules of Order, which clearly states that, when a player goes up 4-0 in any first set, ankle weights and colorful balloons are strapped on to the leading player to ensure that said player cannot continue to race to her lead.
To question such LOVELY journalism......
