But I like, know women, so subsequently what looks good on them.
It's not that hard. As a fan, you know/think what looks good on your player (especially if it jumps out, good or bad) when you seem them.
We've all discussed Petra's best outfits previously, by the way.
It's earlier in the thread.

I agree, but what I was meaning is that this photographer - IMHO - is not a very talented artist and therefore the photos look very artificial. And the "waistline" photo is simply terrible and received a well-deserved beating both in the GM and on Tennis.com.
To be fair, the "butt" photo was quite good

Yeah. I was shocked that that frontal/no hips photo was released (especially in comparison to the butt photo). The photographer should of deleted that photo from the start, so it wouldn't be part of a post processing/editorial decision. I can agree with that. I certainly wouldn't of posted that on GM.
Concerning the other photos, and future photo shoots. Let's wait and see?
Nothing Petra does once or twice now, will be imprinted as her ultimate image.
They're experimenting now. Let's just give them that, and the ability to make mistakes (unless it's just way over the top), and find what works and doesn't.
It's a journey/process. Hey! As long as Petra's okay with it (are you listening Mr. Csersonek). Lol
That's my two cents.

Thx

Yes I think she was there for a full fortnight and returned around 11-12 December to start training in Prostějov.
Her upcoming schedule (posted by Paul in the News section):
18 DEC Prostějov –Sparta 10:00
19 DEC Prostějov - Neride (probably) 10:00
20 DEC Final 10:00
21 DEC Czech sport awards 21:00
22 DEC Czech Tennis player of the year 17:30
27 DEC Flight to Australia
BTW, expect more glamorous photos from the awards, as she will win both in a landslide

Oh. OK.
Good Luck to her on the Tennis/Sports awards.
I hope she can keep focus, after being told how great she is for two days. I guess the long airport flight can take care of that (along with 3 wks till OZ). We hope/Let's see? Lol
Do you know if those Czech matches be streamed Petronius?
Thanks

Oh.
No. Not in the slightest (on the gay part).
But I appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Cool.
I understand that.
You like Dance Hall, Reggae, Ragga (or you just got words from a song in your sig)?

BTW, she looks great with hair like that, but this hair-do can be probably used only in exhibition (unimportant) matches, otherwise it would hamper her game ?

With just seven games played, Petra and Adam won 4:3
BTW, Jiří Veselý (world #1 in juniors) played a very tight match with Tomáš Berdych and lost 6:8 in the tiebreaker.

She's not perfect, but as long as she's able to overwhelm her opponents with powerful groundies, serves and returns, as well as with a wide array of volleys, dropshots and slices it's no big deal. But I agree that it would improve her looks.
