"You have VAR and you still get it wrong": Serena Williams' ex-coach furious after dubious Kalinskaya double bounce incident at US Open

Ex-coach of the former world number one Serena Williams, Rennae
Stubbs, has lambasted poor officiating in the US Open 2024. The fourth and
final Grand Slam of the year is moving towards the business end where players
from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent and secure
the ultimate prize.
During the third round of the contest between Russia’s Anna
Kalinskaya and Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia, there a controversy regarding the
double the bounce. The incident was checked through the use of the video technology.
Interestingly, the officials ended up still making a wrong call which left quite
a lot of people in disbelief as it was clear that the ball hit twice before the
Brazilian tennis star returned it.
The incident occurred in the first set, and it did not impress Stubbs, the former coach of America’s legendary tennis star Serena Williams. She took to the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—and expressed her displeasure about the incident.
“How the hell do you get that wrong on Armstrong WITH VAR!!!
What the hell is the umpire looking at!!!! Omggggg!!!!! Wowza! You have VAR and
u still get it wrong! I’m shook,” she wrote. In an other post, she once again
expressed her displeasure by writing: “Absolutely horrible! How do u NOT get
that right.”

AceOfBase14-09-2024 - They need to stop having the USO finals weekend compete with NFL opening weekend. Tennis sucks at scheduling!
smurphie92413-09-2024 - Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.
mandoist11-09-2024 - Bitterness will always surface the more one cannot resist the urge to spew personal feelings. Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
