Beware the Succubus

In a move that possibly couldn't have been orchestrated to drum up a little publicity, GQ staff writer Andrew Corsello reveals the reason that your favorite, studly male tennis players suddenly bring the suckage.

They got married. Salon's Broadsheet weighs in:

GQ to tennis studs: Stay single!

The New York Post's Page Six informs us that the latest issue of GQ features what is no doubt a well-researched article about male tennis stars losing their game shortly after saying their wedding vows. Andrew Corsello, writing for the magazine, calls this decline "the curse of the succubus," and as an example cites Pete Sampras' fall from the top after his marriage to actress Bridgette Wilson. (That bitch!) According to Page Six, Corsello also notes that Jimmy Connors, Björn Borg and John McEnroe saw their careers slump as a result of she-devil wives. What seems to be taking place is not merely a loss of game but a frightening overall emasculation. In fact, it may be worth putting a moratorium on marriage for all athletes until we get more solid results.

Wow. And right on the heels of that now infamous (and removed) Forbes article about how men should avoid marrying "career women" like one should the Devil, fried food and rat poison.

Are my eyes glowing red? Or is that a trick of the light?
