Hey there, listen up! I wanna tell you about this Alexandra Shubladze girl. She’s a tennis player, you know? Yeah, hits that little ball back and forth. She’s from Russia. Big place, Russia. Lots of snow, I hear.
This Alexandra, she’s, uh, born in 2005. Makes her… uh, how old? Well, young! Young enough to be running around all day, that’s for sure. Not like me, my knees ain’t what they used to be.
They say she’s pretty good at this tennis thing. She’s got some number, 412 or something, in the world for singles. Don’t ask me what that means, just that it’s good, I guess. Some folks call it WTA singles ranking. And another number for doubles, 490. Sounds important, all these numbers.
She plays all over, this one. They say she’s won some, uh, titles. Five, I think? Yeah, five career titles. Must be nice, getting all those trophies. My cupboard’s full of old jam jars.
They got these things called “draws.” It’s like, who she’s gonna play against. And scores, of course. Lots of numbers flying around. Hard to keep track of it all. It’s confusing me! But I know she won a lot.
Singles, they say she’s got 4, but won 3. That’s 3 titles. And lost one. That means 1 runner-up. Can’t win ’em all, I suppose. And doubles, that’s when two of ’em play together, she’s got 3, won 2. That’s 2 titles for doubles.
They got different places they play. Clay, that’s like dirt, right? Then hard, that’s like the road. Indoors, well, that’s inside. And grass, like in my backyard, ‘cept probably nicer. This girl, Alexandra Shubladze, she plays on all of ’em. All in different year. Busy girl!
They say she’s 19, this Alexandra. Nineteen! Still a baby, really. Got her whole life ahead of her, playing this tennis. Hope she’s saving her money.
This Tennis thing, it’s big, you know? Lots of people watch it. They got it on the TV sometimes. All those young folks running around, chasing that ball. I used to chase chickens, back in the day.
- She’s got a ranking for singles, they say. 730, or maybe 723. High numbers.
- And for doubles, it’s 1184, or was it 1183?
