Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic are two of the best players on their respective tours and yet day in and day out all that happens is they get smashed. Maria has two early exits at a grandslam (and the french wasn't all that early) and all of a sudden she's a no talent player who should retire. Up to that point she was having the best year of anyone on tour (1 Grandslam, 1 Tier I, and a Tier II title with two semifinals and a quaterfinal appearance). Yet she has one hiccup in her game and all of a sudden she's horrible. I bet no one was saying that after Australia.
And as far as Novak Djokovic goes, what's with calling him arrogant all the time. All he is is confident and there's nothing wrong with that. And now everyone is saying he's too serious. Well last year he was playing and being humorous on court and everyone said he was too laid-back so he straightened up and got serious; now everyone wants him to lighten up.
Everyone should just appreciate these athletes.
