Quatar, Emerites Feb. 17, 2002

Future Tennis Hall of Fame player, Monica Seles, shocked the tennis world today when she announced her engagement to a local billionaire sheik.

"I didn't like him at first because he was always asking me out", said the smiling Seles. When asked what made her change her mind, Seles revealed, "His wonderful smile, this soild gold trophy, 24kt. diamond ring, diamond necklace, chest of gold coins, 10 lbs. of precious stones and a 5 million dollar house ... for my dog".

Seles will continue to play tennis, but will soon be playing on the Seles Womens Association of Tennis (SWAT).
The shiek also sent several of his very large close employees to Germany to look for a special person in his fiance's life for undisclosed reasons.

Seles was then carried by four of her new servants to her personal 757 for her next match. Her dog followed in his new Jetstream.

Analyzing the content of this thread for all the Monica fans who don't feel like rocking the boat when Rexx The Dog gets his little digs in.

And yes, a few Monica fans did come in here without noticing the undercurrent of the thread.

Oh well, everyone is not happy with their own lives.

Sounds like self-analysis to me. This was a pretty harmonious board before December, 2001.

Pathetic would be injecting yourself into a rankings thread to diss numbers. Would have preferred I posted different numbers there, more in tune with your reality, but not actually based on the WTA's ranking system?

Ring A Bell?

Here you have 2 posts of ranking intervals by yours truly. We also have 3 responses from a couple Williams fans who recognize the significance of the numbers and ponders their siginificance to their own favourites. Sandwiched in between we have a mindless invasion by a crap disturber who poses as a Williams fan.

Now we see a wide open field.

Wow, I see how much an injury at this time last year could affect the rankings this year. I mean, Monica will definitely do some damage on clay, and Lindsay missed the French and other clay tourneys last year so she doesn't have much to defend on the clay.

How about subtracting points through the US OPEN? Just kidding

Venus is still in good postition to rise and rise. Although I just want her to remain healthy and continue playing well in tourneys. Serena though is still my pick to really rise on up.

WOW, Venus would still be #3 after Wimbeldon? In my opinion if she plays some tourneys at the end of the season she will be in great shape. I really do think that the French Open is going to be the key for who will be in the top 5 at the end of the season.

You sound like one of them.

Sartrista7, I understand your interpretation of this thread and how you arrived there. I don't take issue with anyone who may have found this thread funny, save for the originator. It's a matter of interpretation, and I interpret a couple of things in this thread (not just what Fingon mentioned) to be veiled attacks on Monica. Such a thread could be funny to me, but for that the word "good natured" isn't particularly close to my mind when I read the original post.
