Some intresting points

Women players have really come a long way from The Hindu

"Federer is not a patronising sort of fellow, though to read into this that women first polish nails and then forehands is abject nonsense. They can do both. Ask Sharapova if the game comes first for her, and she will sneer. That No.1 tag is not for modelling, though sometimes, alas, it is almost as if a beautiful women's player must prove herself doubly. One of the points missed about Anna Kournikova is that she did not set out to be a celebrity, but a tennis player."
...
"Sometimes still a disservice is done to women's players with prurient questions, and some level of objectifying remains and so do double standards. If like Svetlana Kuznetsova, Sharapova was defending champion and lost in the first round, teeth-gnashing would occur over whether her tennis was being sacrificed for selling perfumes. Federer, who has his own fragrance, would scarcely face such scrutiny."
...
"Truth is, what makes the women's tour attractive is that many of its players are not merely finely gifted, but proud, young, sure of themselves, and not averse to expressing their personalities. They are mistresses of their own fate and charters of their own destinies.
The Williams sisters are multi-dimensional, engaging and provocative. It might be said if Serena focused purely on tennis instead of fashion/ decorating/movies, her impressive record would be more glittering. It might also be argued that such distractions give her balance and have helped shelter her from burn-out. Either way it makes her fascinating, a player of passion and personality, and worthy of respect."

I am wondering who worte this article... my assumption is that a women wrote it.
