Sharapova and the WTA photoshoot!

Hey guys/girls... just saw this article on the beeb and thought its an interesting topic and would like to se how you all felt about it.

Personally i think that the timing of having a 4 hour photoshoot jus a day before a Tier1 begins is a little inconsiderate of the WTA. But then again how often is it that you hav such players all assembled at the same tournament. I think the reported fine for not doing it is a little excessive and there should perhaps be an opt out clause or even a set amount of WTA promoting that they should each hav to do.

What do you all think?

Thanks

Of course this is sick (I never thought I'd be defending Sharapova someday...).

I think that even keeping a certain amount of hours that the players must devote to photoshoots in unfair - they're there to play, not to pose (at least that's how it should be).

I'm also with sharapova on this one I think.....though how can a photoshoot be energy-sapping ? though of course I appreciate they would rather be using that time for practise, match analysis etc

I would imagine that standing around for 4 hours just for pictures could be quite a drag, especially if it's sandwiched between training and other commitments.
