This is why we like it when Maria wins


If you follow tennis, then you're aware that Rafael Nadal won his mind-boggling 9th French Open title, and Maria Sharapova won her 2nd.  Not so mind-boggling, but it appears that Maria is learning that when Serena Williams is out of a Grand Slam tournament, then she better win it.   And I will note that Simona Halep played a very strong, gritty match -- clearly had chances to win -- and if she stays healthy, will likely win a Grand Slam soon.  (And I didn't catch a single mention of her breast reduction surgery, which was apparently one reason for her ascendancy in the rankings.  But there was an article in the Australian.)

But now back to Maria.  One of the reasons we like her winning is that she's Maria.  And that means that after she wins, she poses in Paris with the trophy, and with the Eiffel Tower behind her, and in these pictures she's wearing a short skirt and heels.

THAT's why we like it when Maria wins a Grand Slam.
