- In case you 'Americans' haven't heard: ESPN just screwed you out of Wimbledon coverage in the USA!! ESPN will offer ONE FREE MATCH PER DAY. If you want to see anything else "marketing" department mistake-makers think you will fork over $39.00 for a subscription to watch Wimbledon.

- Here's an idea! Media get your "journilism" credentials in order before attempting to actually be a Journalist. Then decide, 'Do I want to be a sensationalist love interest writer for people magazine'? Or, 'Do I want to be sensible and write about the actual sport and its athletes without making things worse for them for no good F-ing reason other than write filler'? This Serena bullshit, Iga's mental health intrusions, all of this crap is lowering the bar... even for this rag.mandoist27-06-2026

- 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.mandoist24-06-2026
- 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.mandoist24-06-2026
- 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.mandoist24-06-2026
- Wimbledon's "body count" is now at 16 Withdrawals. Plus their maltreatment of Vondrousova makes it 17 Total.mandoist23-06-2026
