Martina Hingis is marrying Radek Stepanek, a Czech tennis-playing douchebag who is now most famous for marrying Martina Hingis. Those of you who are disappointed that Martina is now off the market need not worry, though. Stepanek will probably be dead within the month.

The news of their engagement comes just days after Tennis magazine called Hingis tennis's "black widow," because everyone she dates gets injured shortly thereafter. She dated Magnus Norman, he retired with a hip injury. Julian Alonso dated her, and had to retire with an injury. Justin Gimelstob hurt himself. Anna Kournikova retired retired shortly after partnering (and probably having a lot of nasty lesbian sex) with Hingis. Stepanek is currently trying to come back from a neck injury, so I wouldn't expect him to live much longer. I'm okay with that.

Also, I like that picture.
