- "It’s difficult to say we don’t agree” Correction: It’s difficult to say [ I ] don’t agree. While she is an intelligent and well educated person, she may not be all that aware of certain character flaws. Perhaps a psychologist or ten might be of some help?
- Sabalenka should ignore that nonsense and continue doing what she does. The sport of tennis has been corrupted by the American government. And America is the most racist country on earth. It is clear that some players are being targeted for discrimination based on their nationality. Screaming hasn't just start in tennis. Sharapova, Serena, etc. always did scream and nothing was said. You cannot control ignorance.
- If she wants privacy, then she should quit tennis. The same thing happened to Sabalenka at the US Open after she loss the final, and no one was talking about privacy. Instead they criticized Sabalenka. Anyone who knows Gauff is well aware that she is a sore loser and cannot control her anger after a loss. You cannot tell someone where to place their cameras. She needs to separate herself from her parents and GROW UP. She is 21 years old.
- Coco is a sore loser. She does that all the time. At least now, she goes behind closed doors, instead of interrupting the matches with her meltdown. The same thing happened to Sabalenka at the US Open. The only difference is, Sabalenka knows how to handle things like an adult. Gauff on the other hand needs to GROW UP. She is 21 and she needs to act like it. There is no way you can play a sport and cannot stand to lose.
- No one is interested in seeing her. She is not going to do anything but cheat a younger player out of a wildcard and lose in the first round. If their lives is that miserable and they want to return, let them go thru qualifications like everyone else.
- She never ever screams in practice. Not ever.
- I'm amazed at the freedom cameras have on courts as well. In the past, cross-court cameras were vividly showing what amounted to "upskirts" as women sat on their respective benches. The players resorted to placing towels between or over their legs. A practice still in play today. Same with camera's habits of basically zooming-in on down-blouse shots. That seems to have lessened; at least no more zooming-in as they bend forward prepping to face an opponent's serve. In addition, the invasion of privacy during medical treatment on-court is absurd. As are the in-your-face close-ups of players at their bench. If I were seeking a moment to concentrate or simply relax between games I'd trash that camera in a nanosecond.
- Talking about that situation with the American Dictator is one thing. Taking action is another. When is both the ATP and WTA is going to hand down punishment to the American athletes like they did with the Russians and Belarusians?, They took no time mixing sports with politics when it came to Ukraine. Right now, it is showing that the sport of tennis is actually controlled by the American Government. That is why there is so much Corruption going on.
- PLACED IN THE SEMIS IS RIGHT. BECAUSE UNLIKE ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS, PEGULA IS NEVER GIVEN ANY QUALITY OPPONENTS IN HER SECTION OF THE DRAW. THEREFORE IT HELPS HER TO GO DEEP INTO THE DRAWS. BY THE TIME SHE MEETS UP WITH A QUALITY OPPONENT, HER OPPONENT IS EXHAUSTED FROM THE PREVIOUS MATCH. IT IS CALLED DRAW FIXING. AND THAT AMERICAN BACK WTA IS FULL OF CORRUPTION. AND HAS RUINED WOMEN TENNIS. PEGULA DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE BODY BUILD TO LIFT A TROPHY. THEREFORE THEY DO WHAT AMERICANS DO BEST. IF YOU CANNOT EARN IT, CHEAT AND STEAL IT.
- THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL HER. AS USUAL, THE DRAWS WERE DESIGNED TO HELP PEGULA LIFT THE TROPHY. UNLIKE, EVERYONE ELSE ALL PEGULA OPPONENTS CAME OFF OUT OF THE JUNIOR SECTION.
