There was an upset at Wimbledon on Monday, as Tsvetana Pironkova took down Venus Williams to advance to the next round. You know what? I'm not that upset.
Pironkova took down the red hot Williams, 6-2, 6-3. This was a great day for tennis fans that also happened to be into hot women.
This is in no way a knock on Venus Williams. Her legacy has long been adored. However, it is time to make way for another beautiful face to take some of the spotlight away from the Williams sisters.
The 23-year old Pironkova pulled off the second upset in as many years. Last year she dismissed of Williams with the same exact score. Perhaps this time her name will gain some traction outside the world of tennis.
Pironkova has not won a WTA title as of yet. I doubt that she will be able to capture similar results on what is still a demanding field of players in the tournament.
In fact, her form and style just matches wits perfectly with Venus Williams. That is all to say that fans should get a good look now. The Bulgarian beauty is sure to be ousted in short order.
If you want to get a better look at her. You can see pictures of her in action as well as at the pre-Wimbledon party here.
This is turning out to be a great week at Wimbledon. That is, if you are one that likes upsets. It gives the tournament an, anything can happen quality.
You can't ask for a better feeling at the top tournament in the sport. This will truly be a Wimbledon finish to remember.
