- Would be great of we get a 3rd player from that level
AceOfBase16-06-2025 - Really, Emma? Another excuse??? Geez...
mandoist14-06-2025 - BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025
- Well the BBC have a whole lot of egg on their faces 😡bjsexton09-06-2025

- Iga is our family's favorite person and player (along with Jasmine P) but Iga is wrong here. According to the WTA 2025 Rule Book she indeed took too long, longer than the occasional Ump's unilateral leniency to allow more time. She surpassed any exception I've seen on clay without Hawkeye. If that's not enough for her or anyone, here's a fact: Try to pressure Kader Nouni, an amazing individual and the WTA #1 male chair ump, and you will lose every time!mandoist06-06-2025
- In defense of Sabalenka, she is very succinct and analytic when it comes to tennis. Her tennis IQ is admirable. However she's not exactly a Harvard or Oxford graduate when she speaks away from tennis. Might be best to keep interviews short. It's no longer "cute" to seem naive and/or not so bright. As for the lengthy screaming and very late loud vocal tricks, it may have started as a distraction tool. But at this stage it seems more of a Bad Habit Gone Wrong. Not unlike allowing a child to pick their nose as they please, only to eventually be an 18 year-old not just picking their nose... but eating it, too. The extended screaming nonsense is annoying (intended as so?) and unnecessary. Saba's level of noises are not the "physical release" described by coaches and players. It's actually approaching a level of unfairness.mandoist05-06-2025
