back to article RIP tennis gal's DD jubs

Fans of the finer points of women's tennis are today mourning the loss of Romanian racket-botherer Simona Halep's DD chesticles - cut down in their prime by the surgeon's knife. As diehard aficionados of bouncy Centre Court action will recall, 17-year-old Ms Halep recently said of her assets: "This fall I'll have a breast …

    'Tis a shame - and think of the lost potential...

    Put her in a mixed doubles and watch the oposition crumble at the sight of those gazombas beating time - she'd be serving aces all afternoon.

    Paris because she knows where her assets lie.

    When I was an MS database administrator, we didn't need breast reduction to make the world a better place. Tell you what, those Romanian tennis pussies would be straight up against the wall if I was Fidel Castro. Pussies.

    that said, whatever. She's taken the amazon option of stunting breast growth in order to kick more arse. Long may she kick it and playmobil please.

    don't know why this is allowed

    it's clearly a surgery, being performed purely to enhance her ability to play tennis. chemicals that improve your performance are banned in teh game, so surgeries that achieve the same end should be too.

    If you have a physical limitation that prevents you from playing tennis to a world class level, perhaps its time for a career change rather than surgery, after all it's only a game!

    my general unfitness and lack of skill prevent me from being a world class tennis player too, can i get a prescription for steroids to correct that?

    Surgery

    I'm surprised she didn't get it done sooner, even to prevent future back problems.

    If she's that dedicated to tennis, I hope she does well. I personally wouldn't get cosmetic surgery for my job.

    I think the best analogous reference is one a friend of mine made from a 'poison elves' comic... lung hammers.

    Of course there is an IT angle.

    Involves Tits, or Twats if the story had been about her fanny.

    Paris, because she is crying in the knowledge that even after the surgery Simona's happy funtime bags will still be bigger than Paris' tiny titties

    I can't recall the details at the moment but there is an SF short story about a future Olympics where most of the athletes are genetically mutated to compete. There are complex arguments about where the (few) limitations have been broken. During the story some of the Soviets (old story) defect using their mutated abilities to their own advantage for the first time.

    Its like an extreme version of those arguments about the identities/ages of some of the young gymnasts. As you may recall the authorities came back and said that the girl matched her official details and those said she was OK, neatly sidestepping the other evidence that implied she'd been several years older/younger several years before. Or that there were two amazing athletes with the same name - which seemed the official explanation. It was deemed moot that a country might fake someones details to have them compete.

    Drugs give one an unfair advantage over other competitors. This is removing a pre-existing hindrance, almost a handicap. It might bring her performance up to that of other players, but not beyond them.

    Unfortunately, job related cosmetic surgery for most of us would involve hemorrhoid removal.

    Great video, El Reg. The love-child of Ilie Năstase and Lara Croft in bouncing puppies action! Better than all the usual dull stuff about IT, Redmond versus Mountain View, science, government cock-ups, hardware, software ...

    Talking of God's Own Sport, I watched virtually all the second week on BBC TV (when I should've been working) and I'm proud to admit it! So FOAD, all you tennis-hating commentards.

    t-IT-s

    (The IT reference is in the TITle.)

    The surgery may well result in a lose-lose situation.

    We lose because her boobs have been more interesting than her tennis.

    She may well lose because her centre of gravity will move to a point further down and further back, and her upper body mass is reduced. Since even unfamiliar shoes can throw out a player's game, it is doubtful as to whether the deboobification may in any way improve her abilities.

    Trying to build greater lower-leg strength in the gym might have been a better strategy.

    Some good could have been derived from the situation if we could nominate some other pretty girl to receive the off-cuts, but I don't suppose it works that way...?

    Breast is Best

    Think of the lost opportunities for sponsorship from BusterBras.Com (BBC) or FeminineIndustrialSupport.Co.Uk.

    More seriously though it a shame to see someone resort to non-essential surgery - you should always make the most of your assets rather than seek to take the short cut.

    Paris cos she always makes a tit of herself.

    That does look like it would hurt like hell after a few rounds but if I were her I think I'd rather change careers. Surgery seems like kind of a drastic option.
