Be ready to LOVE TENNIS !

Models instead of ball boys. Isn't it a good idea.
It happened in the madrid series...

Some people think that it's "sexist".
And you what do you think ?

I don't think so. My favourite sports used to be Judo, then football ( soccer). Now i think that tennis is going to be one of my favourite sports.
And i like BOSS too.

Guess why... and enjoy. ( and if you have other pics .. :beaten: :mrgreen: )

Yes right, but only on the last "series madrid" tourney.

The regular ball boys or girls... we don't mind... unemployment is high in europe.

I hope we'll see models in Roland Garros...

I've been to a couple tennis championships but no supermodels when I went. Just overpriced beverages. :mad:

only one! thats unacceptable! 2 would be alright, and 3 would just be spoiling them!

But common guys, they get to watch it for free, in NZ i think the winners of randoms tournaments get to be the ball boys/girls. But yeah, i dunno if they should be paid or not. i mean if one of them said they didnt want to do it i am sure another random kid would love to do it, which makes those kids pretty much worthless. know what I mean?

i could do with one of those sandwhiches right now, so freaking hungry :mad:

I don't think tennis needs this sort of publicity. They should do this stuff with bowling or curling.
