I'm not talking about the battle of sexiness between Maria Sharapova and Alona Bondarenko. Sharapova who was playing her first singles tournament in nearly 10 months after her shoulder surgery, finally lost in the third round match at the Warsaw Open.

It's the time of the year again for the (some say) most challenging grand slam, the French Open.
Here's a preview of the tournament.
This year's tournament will run from May 24th to June 7th, which means there are only 3 days left before the players are tested on the dusty, challenging red clay courts of Roland Garros.
So, are you ready for some brutally brilliant tennis?
I bet Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic fans are ready.
Reuters reported that Gael Monfils was on the verge of withdrawing from the French Open on Wednesday because of a knee injury. In an interview after the exhibition match in Rueil where he lost 6-4, 6-0 to Marcos Baghdatis, Monfils said, "If I had to decide today, the answer would be no," the world number 11, who reached the semi-finals at Roland-Garros last year.
"I clench my teeth but my knee is still hurting. I'll make my decision at the last minute. I have six days left as I have asked to play on Tuesday. I still believe a miracle will happen," he added.
According to French federation doctor Bernard Montalvan, the 22-year-old Monfils suffers from an inflammation of the kneecap which could require surgery and a long period of rehabilitation. Updates: Monfils was at the Disneyland Paris together with Stanislas Wawrinka for a promotional event.
