Courting beautiesSomehow, we tennis players attract beautiful ladiesPosted: Wednesday September 7, 2005 9:51AM; Updated: Wednesday September 7, 2005 9:51AM
Outspoken tennis pro Justin Gimelstob is writing every few days during the U.S. Open, where he competed in the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed-doubles competition. Click here to read all of Justin's entries. Beauty pageants are a controversial topic. Some people think they degrade and exploit women. Some people view it as light entertainment. I strongly support the latter opinion. Men always will enjoy looking at beautiful women, and the men on the ATP Tour are no different. As I mentioned in my first blog entry, the players' lounge is full of beautiful girlfriends and wives. So in the spirit of the players' lounge, I thought it would be fun to write a top 10 list to congratulate the boys and celebrate their beautiful significant others (at right, in alphabetical order). I'm not going to name the ladies' names, because some of them rotate so often (that's sort of the point here). But you readers are Internet-savvy, so Google away. The second list is the ultimate compliment, and I hope everyone takes it the right way. I call it the "overachievers" list. These are the top 10 players (current and retired) who are involved with a beautiful woman even though there are some obvious physical discrepancies between them and their significant others. I am a prime example of an overachiever -- and therefore I make this list. I consider myself reasonably attractive (minus the huge noggin and invisible calves), but my girlfriend is far superior in any of the superficial physical categories some people tend to get caught up in.
