Tennis Thread: Australian Open 2019 & onwards..........

[magimedi]

Hope it's OK for me to start a new thread - could not believe we'd burned out on the last one.

Am looking forward to seeing highlights of the Fed/Tits match later.

Sorry, Kazza- that will teach me to RTFT!!

Serena does the 'exhausted' thing, then miraculously wins from nowhere.

remember the French open when she was so 'ill' and seemed to be completely out of it- nearly every match? Marion Bartoli was bigging her up constantly .

She did it every match.

I won't say it's cheating but...

After her antics at the US open, I don't know how she has the nerve to show her face on a court.
I was discussing it with my mum- had forgotten she couldn't watch- in the Amazon fiasco.

To reduce your opponent to a sobbing, apologetic mess, when she has won is unforgivable. Totally unforgivable.

Damn! Yes I agree Raahh. She starts losing and suddenly she's not well. Then when her opponent starts to flag she makes a recovery. And nothing is ever said about it!! So annoying.

US Open was a disgrace and the crowd was disgusting.

Jane I was uncomfortable watching it- and everyone who backed her up, should be ashamed of themselves.

Come on Simona, don't give up!!

And the US Open where Serena told the line judge she wanted to kill her.

I dislike her more than any other player, including Djok!!

Blimey- Djokovic still has to play after this.

How totally ridiculous.

I'm not saying it will, but it could go on for hours!

magi I couldn't agree more.

Even Kyrgios- and that's saying something. At least he gets pulled up for tanking.

RTFT Raahh ? Sorry, being a bit thick

After that Clijsters match , she shouldn't have been allowed to ever play again. It was horrendous.

Oh, bugger!

Kazza sorry, you had already mentioned the Carrena Busta score line, and I went and mentioned it again- if I had read the thread first, I wouldn't have repeated what you wrote!

She is so insincere.

Oh, is it a miracle , Serena?

Shite

Oh Serena had a baby? Why didn't anyone mention it?

And now she's getting praised for not repeating her US Open behaviour

Jane they like to keep it quiet. She's a very private person Our Serena.

FFS- not repeating it?? How about the fact it would never occur to normal people to do it in the first place?!

I will be glad to see Djok for once as they might shut up about Serena Williams then.

Is there an equivalent of the Stefan Edberg award for good sportsmanship for the women?

Can't imagine her name being associated with it, somehow. .

jane

It's like dropping a brick on your toe, so you forget you have toothache, isn't it? .

I'm being a taxi service for DS this afternoon when the BBC highlights are on, so have set the recorder but if Serena is on, I don't think I'll bother to watch back.

I wouldn't Kazza.

I wonder what AC makes of Medvedev's rather pointless tufty chin fuzz? It's really a beard ?

He has always made think of Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
