Requiem for a Tennis Ball

The small, fuzzy, yellow sphere pictured here was permanently maimed and ultimately sacrificed after this head-on collision with Serena Williams' tennis racket.

It is survived by its identical siblings, all of whom face the similar fate of being assaulted during this year's Australian Open -- by Serena's guns.

46. If you watched the match you might have been distratced by how often these women had to tug at therir outfits. I don't recall Chris or Martina having to adjust so much. Serena, to me, because of her size and agility can be likened to a water buffalo, big, strong and fleet of feet when the need arises, but the combination is not always pretty to look at. And, please, don't read anything racial into this because I could say the same of Lindsey (forgot her last name), one of the former women's tennis stars.
