      Israeli tennis star not deterred by anti-Israel protest


      Israeli tennis pro Shahar Pe'er has climbed into the second round of the Paris Tournament. Pe'er, ranked 22nd in the world, beat 65th ranked French tennis pro Elize Corne 4:6, 1:6. 

      The 22 year old tennis star was greeted by anti-Israel posters, some depicting her personally, while playing in Australia and New Zealand. According to an interview in YNet News, she said the more anti-Israel rhetoric she hears, the better she plays. She said the protesters are clueless and didn't even know about the daily rocket attacks from Hamas on Israel.
