I for one think it's OK, if you are going to have ball girls then why not beautiful ones? However Spain's 'Secretary for Equality' Ms Murillo has called it sexist. Let us know what you think.

The arrival of the models, who wear short skirts and skin-tight black tops, has already stirred up controversy.

Bulletin for tennis dorks: that ain't short and it ain't skin-tight.

I think only beautiful Russian Girls should be allowed to play tennis. Then the ball girls won't be a distraction.

well, if thats sexist, might as well get rid of all the pit girls and flag girls, cause they wear even less than the ball girls........

I don't mind the improved scenary, but if they don't know what they are doing at a world level event, that's a problem. Pit babes aren't required to peform critical race functions.... unless one's interpretation of critical is rather liberal. ;) Ball boys/girls is a critical function of the tournament, so if they have to be prompted by the referee and break the rhythm of the match, it's a distraction.

Somebody once remarked that she looked like she was trying to smuggle 4 bowling balls. I can't improve on that statement. :eek:

Interestingly enough, former Lothario Andre Agassi is against the idea according to USA Today.

"The skirts look like they're a little difficult to run in," said the Las Vegan.

"I think they need to be shorter, maybe."
