Maria Sharapova has taken it to a whole new level - wearing a little red sequined frock at the US open.

It's a terrific development. It adds interest to the game. It is another example of how creative juxtapositions make life interesting.

  2. Yes, the grunting is hardly strawberries and cream is it? I think John McEnroe probably made that slope slippery first.
