- When is this Williams shitshow going to be stopped??? STEALING WILDCARDS from young, promising talents is disgusting, I don't care how big an Ego someone has. Dignity & Integrity are obviously out the window. Williams Family needs the spotlight so bad -- install a little theater at home, with professioal studio lighting, an applause track, and enjoy your needy selves.
- Sad? I'm laughing at what a loser you are.
- Somebody please help this child!!! I really think Emma needs to take a few months off from tennis (rankings ne damned!), find a coach she can work with permanently and focus on the weak areas of her game; take a mental reset and come back strong. This see saw situation needs to STOP!
- Nice article: to the point, covers the situation without additional commentary, and flows nicely. This is a breath of fresh air! Thank you -
- Don't be sad. It's just that no one really looks at this site
- What would you know about having a life? 🤣
- Enough of pathetic trolls like you. Putting legend in quotation marks when you spend all day commenting on every post like a complete loser.😂
- If the argument centers on tennis fans, the decision is straightforward. Paula Badosa should not receive wildcards. The risk of paying for a match ticket only to see her retire midway is simply too high. 😁
- Boo-Hoo for BJK and Poland. Sometimes "Life" takes priority over everything else.
- Seems her Groomer is calling the shots again.
