Maria is always getting a helping hand either with the draw , scheduling and court assignment.I dont understand someone who has not won this event in over ten years should stay on Centre Court and those who have won more are relegated to the outer courts....dont give me the arguement that she is paid more because Federer is the highest paid and he plays in the outer courts now...this nonsense started with Larry Scott and thats why she was bagelled during the Olympics final.

Is there such a thing as an easy draw for Maria at Wimbledon? She has only been in two finals and is 50-50.

Yes she's always on Center Court and Serena and Venus will be relegated to court 2.

Court assignments and scheduling is alot different than a draw. No one is making a draw easy for her. But the other factors are at the discretion of the tournament directors. We've had this discussion before every year and you all know why. Wimby likes blondes and really attractive women on Centre Court. That's the way they schedule and there's no changing them about that. Might as well get over it because in a couple of weeks time, you'll have the same complaint.

In that case then it should be Ana who should always be on center court and a couple of other ladies who would definitely be ahead of pova.

there are a lot of bottle blondes on tour...if they want blondes Kanepi,Gavrilova,Petra and Sveta are natural blondes...yes Wozniacki is a natural.Thats a diplomatic way of saying we dont want the sisters on Centre Court...this has been going on for a while.They are angry because the sisters have made a lot of money off Wimbledon..so Madison Keys has to color her hair blonde to play on Centre Court...its sexist that women are reduced to objects and source of entertainment for the old folks at Wimbledon...where are the feminists like Billie Jean and Martina Navratilova..they are conveniently quiet.

I often wonder why someone follows something when it makes them so miserable.

One can't close his/her eyes against injustice it must be called out.

One must have the wisdom to tell the difference between injustice and perceived/imagined slights.

The funny thing is Wimbledon officials do not even hide it and give some diplomatic explanation. They openly said one year that "Yes, looks are one of the factors involved in court assignments".

No, I am not making this up. Here is the proof . But, to be fair they did not say that it is the only factor or even that it is the primary factor. However, they did admit on record that it is one of the factors. I am not saying that just because they admitted, it is alright to do so. But, I do appreciate them openly admitting it instead of giving some fake arguments to justify their assignments.

Thanks GSM. I wonder who decides who the "hot chicks" are? For the record, I consider Serena way "hotter" than Sharapova. We all have our preferences. So I guess the Wimbledon officials are going for the white male general preference of the skinny white blondes? How diverse and broadminded of them. But I still hold out hope that the Wimbledon officials in all their wisdom will choose tennis over looks.

It is in Europe where blonde, white girls are probably way more appreciated than black women. As much as Europe wants to thumb their nose at the U.S. concerning racism. They certainly are well versed in it there.

You can keep hope alive my brother, but know this. They only have one WTA match on Centre Court during the early rounds and you'll see alot of natural and bottle blondes. Mark my words...

I've noticed that in the past and it, excuse my redneck French, sucks donkey balls. I wonder if the other Grand Slams have admitted to doing the same?

USA Open doesnt favor pova at all they make her play in the blazing sun on Louis Armstrong,Serena owns Ashe and they never put her on other courts unless she is playing doubles....no wonder pova has not won USA title in 9yrs...she always leaves with the tail between her legs.

So does that mean Genie gets to play Centre Court even though she has seemingly forgotten how to play tennis.:s
She might be that one WTA match allowed.

She will definitely get the center court for her very first match, as the organizers also know that it might be their ONLY opportunity to put her on the center court. :snicker
