Rory, you might want to rethink this


As reported widely, top young golfer Rory McIlroy broke up with top young tennis player Caroline Wozniacki a few days after they sent out wedding invitations.  Not his finest moment.  Even so, after that, he went out and won the BMW PGA Championship, one of the biggest prizes on the European tour.  Wozniacki, meanwhile, went out in the first round of the French Open, and there was some commentary about her struggling emotionally with the breakup, but that misses the reports that she was hurt enough (wrist and knee) to consider not playing in the French Open at all. 

Well, anyway, to take a break and soothe her broken heart, Caroline hit the beach in Miami.  The resulting paparazzi fest is worth the time to peruse.

Wozniacki wows on the beach

Now, reportedly, there were problems in the relationship before the ill-timed and ill-performed breakup.  And these are still young kids prone to missteps in the romance department.  It has happened before (remember that Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert were once together?) and it will happen again.  But still, Rory, if and when you look at these pictures -- you might just consider rethinking your decision.  Because the world-class package that Wozniacki possessess - beauty and athletic talent -- is a rare thing.  There are a few others (a former player with the initials AK immediately comes to mind), but they aren't numerous. 

Even so, if the relationship is well and truly over, I hope you made the most of your opportunities, lad.
