Former champion Maria Sharapova on Thursday hailed Wimbledon's plan to pay equal prize money to men and women, calling herself "thrilled" with the revolutionary decision.

"Wimbledon has always been a leader in so many ways in the world of tennis, said the teenaged 2004 champion at the All England club. "I'm thrilled with the decision to award equal prize money.

"This will only strengthen the bond between women's players and one of the world's great sporting events."

It's more a sport than golf and NASCAR.

I'd still like to see them use mines in tennis, though.

It'd make the sport more interesting.

Hey sweetie! I wanted to know if you'd go out with me this weekend?
Just one question: will you pay? I'm short on cash and I heard your hooking money is off the hook!

(Oh, and sorry that you can't figure out if you spelled X correctly)
