Speedminton???? Maria Sharapova

[Ese_Guy]

Have any of you guys ever heard of this?
I was at a sporting goods store earlier today and saw a "Speedminton" set with the picture of Sharapova on the box. The set was next to badminton and volleyball sets.

Kind of weird, but I wouldn't mind trying the sport at least once.

I've been a fan of Maria for about 2 years. I won a speedminton set with Maria's signed photo in an internet competition. (Wheyhey!!) And I didn't even care about the set.
I haven't yet tried speedminton although I have two raquets, 'balls' and somekind of net. It's winter here so only wintersports for me right now.

Maria is absolutely gorgeous, and her tennis is good, much different from Anna.

[Ese_Guy]

That's probably one of the reasons Anna retired.

That's probably one of the reasons Anna retired.

Anna retired?

[Leon of Silvren]

I think she's not retired, as far as I know she's injured.

Besides, if she had retired, she would've called me to tell me....

[Nikodemus]

I don't know about Anna but I think she's not retired. Well still she's not much a tennis player anymore.
And about Maria. She is much more beautiful than Anna in my opinion and Masha also is an excellent tennis player. She's all round good. She has an outstanding backhand. Her serve is beautiful and fast. And her forehand very strong.

I think I'm going to buy speedminton!
