- Not the brightest ball in the can. Period.
- Sabalenka takes her losses very hard but she absolutely MUST exercise a bit more control over her tongue!
- Chair umpires are more often than not (this season in particular) making what seems like unsatisfactory "discretionary calls".
The disconnect between what are WTA/ATP regulations (written in black & white) in their own Rulebook 2025 and actual ENFORCEMENT of said rules is more than obvious. Time to get Chair Ump's on the same page.
Discretion is not really working once you consider countless non-calls for destroying racquets, smashing balls at or near people on the playing surfaces, smashing balls violently into the stands, cheating the serving time clock -- and, yes, screaming and shouting ad nauseum even through an opponent's returns [Sabalenka's 'performances' are clearly beyond hindrance" according to rulebook].
These issues can be easily resolved. However, as we have seen all too often, Pro Tennis has no reasonable 'Checks and Balances'. They are a closed door entity... and that is very likely not a sustainable position to uphold in this century of sport.
- Sabalenka should have spoken to Elena at the trophy ceremony using these words someone wrote for her social media post. A 'thank you' post which did not include a mention of Rybakina or her team.
Even taking into account she is not a bright person, and her borderline sarcasm, Sabalenka is a bad loser who cannot control her reactions and/or negative actions during and after matches.
- It would be interesting (to me) to know what made WTA change their minds about the Vukov ban and reinstate him in such a short amount of time?
Possibly the fact they were tired of having to officially deal with Vukov's bi-weekly applications he submitted for his reinstatement? We'll never see the official charges in the documents; they are legally sealed. But some who have seen the charges were stunned by the findings. So his reinstatement made no sense at all to the inner circle.
FWIW: Having attended tourneys since August, I personally witnessed Lena & Vukov sniping and bickering with one another on several occasions.
I doubt this chapter is over.
- Ater years of her ridiculous screaming (which has only increased to the point of unfairness -- aka: "Hinderance") I can no longer justify her actions nor my participation as a viewer. I did watch the Pegula & Anisimova matches out of hope that they win... but without audio.
We have never received an explanation as to why Sabalenka is afforded the privilege of, in her ever-lengthening Amazon yells, allowed to scream all the way through an opponent's strike at the ball. How is that not a 'hinderance'??
I won't get started on the pathetic Saudi Sportswashing of pro sports.
- Iga Swiatek was right. This chair umpire cares more about her looks.
- At this stage in the game, most people are just simply tired of Sabalenka's bullshit lengthy Amazon woman screaming. It's unnecessary... and only done in competition. She doesn't make a peep in practices.
- Just stop already... why does she think Pickleball was invented??
Media should stop this shitshow coverage. You're not helping.
- Come on Mirra! Get in! 🥳🎆🥳
