- Well said Ajila. Thank you for not being afraid to tell it like it is!!
Hopefully your colleagues, their teams, and others will grow a set of real balls and FINALLY take WTA & ITIA to task for their varying degrees of treatment and mistakes. For all the good they do -- it only takes one poorly orchestrated in-house decision to ruin what little reputation they possess.
- That was extreme bullshit for Pliskova to say such senseless things! Perhaps an experience like Petra Kvitova went through, when an unkown person attacked her at home, might give Pliskova a bit of enlightenment before stating such ignorance?
If ITIA wants to play cops-and-robbers they had better wear badges, ID's, and so. There's absolutely no need for intimidation; something I have witnessed at tourneys from a two of these people acting tough and gruff behind the scenes.
Again, it's a systemic problem in every situation when these entities are accountable to no one but themselves.
- UPDATE: Note how the tennis commentators have apparently been afraid to take a stand on Vondrousova's unfair treatment. Nary a word at all.
Players are reticent to speak out too strongly as well.
Why? Because the WTA / ITIA Dictatorship will find a way to censure you... and, as we have witnessed, even send their bought-and-paid-for law firms after you.
- Wimbledon's "body count" is now at 16 Withdrawals.
Plus their maltreatment of Vondrousova makes it 17 Total.
- Oh, ITIA "investigated" itself. There ya go, end of story!
ITIA is a questionable independent organization, in bed with WTA; both with no accounting to anyone. They have ruined careers unnecessarily, in part by NEVER admitting mistakes nor compromised testings.
The agent/tester made the error by a sudden knock at the door.
"Unannounced" or not, randomly appearing on someone's property can end in any of a number of ways... and not necessarily a happy ending.
At my home anyone going past the property line and warning sign gets a special welcome. It's the 21st Century and we have these things you can use to call someone to announce your arrival while keeping your distance.
- The Williams Sham & Scam will unfortunately continue.
Sorry up & coming young players -- but WTA & Venues don't care about you.
- Sickening, Unfair, and Pathetic.
BTW: Any "history" made is in the past. Returning from faux retirement your "hstory" starts over -- you don't just pickup where you left off.
Shameful to see someone need the spotlight so bad she is happy to steal Wildcards
- Diana's emotions and reactions prove her dedication and extreme drive to succeed. Her workouts are as strenuous as any of her peers. Just as driven on the practice courts.
Her priorities to tennis are obvious, unlike several others. A fierce competitor should be allowed his/her honest emotional displays without having to answer for them.
I submit the media weasels 'Think Before They Speak' at pressers.
- Hey, I know... throw away more Wildcards and secret Invitations!
Oh, Wimbledon just did.
Ridiculous and unwarranted.
- Stop the Wasted Wildcards and Freebies!!
This is past the point of rescue anymore. It's embarrassing -- and unfair to able young prospects.
