Most of the world doesn't realize this so I thought it's rather important to point out that two of the hottest tennis players on the planet just played each other in the third round of Wimbledon. Sharapova handily defeated Hantuchova 6-3, 6-1. I don't have cable but that match certainly would have been pay-per-view worthy.

Daniela Hantuchova is from Slovakia and was and at one point achieved a worldwide #5 ranking and made four consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals (Anna never had back-to-back QF appearances).

Maria Sharapova is from Russia and ranked 15th in the world and seeded 12th at Wimbledon. She has already won three WTA titles in the two years she has been pro, compared to Anna's zero after 6+ years. Sharapova will face #31 Amy Frazier (USA) in the fourth round, coming up on Monday or Tuesday. Be sure to cheer for her.
