#17 Glamorous Athletes #1

365 Blog Challenge: Post #17

As Scott is practically nocturnal, he has been watching the Australian Open this week in real time.  He always comments about how female tennis players have good bodies, except some of them have man arms.  (See above.)  While looking at the pictures on the official Australian Open website, I started to notice just how ridiculous tennis players look in their moments of glory.  Below are some prime examples (and some examples of great sports photography):

18th Seed player Sam Query who unfortunately lost in the first round after this great look and screwed up Scott's pick 'em brackets.

This is actually not THAT embarrassing of a picture...except that this American's name is Mardy Fish.

By the way, did you know that Kei$ha made an appearance at the Open? 

Australian player Jelena Dokic who is in fact playing in the women's tournament.

Juan Martin Del Potro, looking fabulous (and as if his arm is protruding from his abdomen)

Andy Murray, Britain's great hope,  is stunned to see this ball flying at him.  He knows he's playing tennis, right?

And last but not lease, you know how Andy Roddick is kinda considered a stud?  (He IS married to Brooklyn Decker of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue fame for heaven sake).  Well he was a repeat offender in the unattractive action shot category. 

Doi?

Is he trying to look like a monkey?

No wonder athletes have to deck themselves out so much off the court, to redeem themselves from these ridiculous shots.  Good luck mates!
