Serena Williams’ Sexy Tennis Ad Pulled From TV


Wait a minute, you mean we weren’t watching a nationally-televised regulation tennis game? Apparently Serena Williams’ Top Spin 4 ad is too sexy for TV, or so thinks the company who made it. We did think the fishnets would be extremely chafing. The scandalous ad features Williams in a skimpy leotard going toe-to-toe with actress Rileah Vanderbilt, or the “world’s sexiest tennis gamer.” Call us suspicious, but we don’t believe that woman even knows how to properly put topspin in her backhand! Oh right, not a real game. Those grunts are very misleading.  Vanderbilt tweeted the ad on Monday, but apparently it wasn’t ready for human consumption quite yet. The nation demands more crotch shoots! “As part of the process for creating marketing campaigns to support our titles, we pursue a variety of creative avenues,” 2K Sports said a statement. “This video is not part of the title’s final marketing campaign and its distribution was unauthorized.” Since both Serena and her sister Venus Williams sport tiny tennis outfits, we just naturally assumed we were watching live footage of Wimbledon through their new confetti-cam. We mean…Serena won, didn’t she?

Federer thrashes Roddick in Basel

Roger Federer swept aside Andy Roddick to reach the final of the Swiss Indoors in Basel.
The top seed broke the American four times on his way to a 6-2 6-4 win in one hour 10 minutes.
Roddick had five break opportunities himself, but could only convert one against the 16-time Grand Slam winner.
Instead the Swiss dominated on serve, winning 94% of points on his first serve compared to his opponent's 71%.
Federer will go head to head with defending champion Novak Djokovic for the title - in a re-run of the 2009 final - after the second-seeded Serbian saw off fellow countryman Viktor Troicki 7-6 (7/4) 6-4 in one hour 37 minutes.
Both players broke once each in the opening set before a single break helped Djokovic close out the second.
