It’s a sad day for us all.

Simona Halep, the 17-year-old tennis sensation from Romania, lost in her first-ever French Open appearance earlier this week. But that’s not why the entire blogosphere is disappointed.

No, it was her announcement that she will be undergoing breast-reduction surgery in order to increase her chances of being a competitive pro, that sent shockwaves throughout the ogling community, a mere four months before we could legally enjoy her wicked … forehand.

Good luck to Miss Halep, although I think her tennis notoriety – remarkably strong for a player ranked No. 496 in the world – will be greatly reduced once she gets reduced.
