- 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.
- That is what is called an Old School spanking. And it is not surprising. Svitolina played during the time when women tennis was at its best. She was considered a dark horse, who gave Serena and many of the other good players problems at that time. Gauff knew that she had to play tennis before she came out there, because Svitolina was not going to hit all those unforced errors and hand her the match, like her previous opponents. Back in the day, not only did you have to know how to play tennis, but you also had to THINK on the court. Something that has left women tennis altogether. That is why she was hitting the majority of those balls away from Gauff, because she knew that she could not out rally her. Which confused Gauff and broke her down.
- SVITOLINA GAVE HER AN OLD SCHOOL SPANKING. SHE DIDN'T GET OUT THERE AND LOOK LIKE GAUFF PREVIOUS OPPONENTS AND HAND HER THE MATCH WITH LOADS OF UNFORCED ERRORS, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY GAUFF EVER WIN A MATCH. SVITOLINA DID NOT PLAY THAT ONE DIMENSIONAL CRAP TENNIS THAT THE NEW GENERATION IS USED TO. YOU CANNOT RALLY GAUFF, SO SHE HIT THE BALL AWAY FROM HER AND MAINTAINED HER SERVE. IT IS CALLED STRATEGY AND THINKING ON COURT. SOMETHING THAT HAS LEFT WOMEN TENNIS ALTOGETHER. EVEN GAUFF NEW TATIC OF LEAVING THE COURT AFTER LOSING THE FIRST SET, DID NOT WORK. AFTER THE MATCH SHE WENT TO THE BACK BEAT HER RACKET UP AND CRIED AS USUAL AFTER A LOSS. AT LEAST SOMEONE HAS TAUGHT HER TO DO HER MELTDOWNS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THE CAMERA JUST HAPPENS TO CATCH HER OUTBURST THIS TIME.
- AT LEAST SOMEONE HAS TAUGHT HER TO DO HER SORE LOSING MELTDOWNS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THE CAMERA JUST HAPPENS TO CATCH HER OUTBURST THIS TIME.
- Haven't seen such a dreadful display of two-way tennis in quite some time.
- No recreational drug tests??
- You are so confused lately.
