I'm confused by this part of the article: The fact that many seats remained empty for the Cirstea-Azarenka clash implies that the knowledgeable SW19 crowd were underwhelmed by the tennis on offer. Are they saying Cirstea is not attractive? I know many people feel Vika is not a babe, but I certainly find her attractive.
It's an insult to female athletes IMO. And while a casual fan may stop and look at a pretty face if the tennis sucks then they won't look again. The article mentions the empty seats during one of the "pretty girl" matches so what is the reasoning behind this? It can't be to grow the sport.
