Pathetic, says Navratilova

"One has to wonder who is around who might challenge Serena - and her sister Venus - in the other three grand-slam events this year. Maria Sharapova's right shoulder cannot heal quickly enough, Elena Dementieva has to show her pedigree finally at this level and Jelena Jankovic must start to play in these championships as she does in the lesser events. " said Martina Navratilova.



Asked about Australian Open women's final Martina Navratilova just responded: "Pathetic".

Yeah, just to compare, it took Serena Williams only 59 minutes to win the final and earn $ 1.3 mln while Rafael Nadal had to spend more than four hours to win the same money against Roger Federer. Not to mention Rafa's epic semifinal match against Fernando Verdasco which lasted 5 h 14 min.

Yes. Something is definitely wrong with women's tennis. Martina, maybe you should consider another comeback to professional tennis?
