WTF?!!!!

[expatinscotland]

The Williams sisters just won the women's doubles.

JUST won it!

And they go and present the juniors women's champion her trophy RIGHT ON CENTRE COURT and rushed all the ladies off!

WTF is that about?!!! They wouldn't have done that after hte men's doubles!

The kid won hours ago and they go and present her trophy after a women's championship match?!

And now, they're interviewing the kid. She won her match fucking 3 hours ago and now we've got htis 14-year-old kid on TV and none of the four women who just played a championship match!

I'm pissed off. I'm writing in to complain!

I'd have liked to hear from the sister and also the runners up and their thoughts on the match they just played.

Fucking BBC right pisses me off!

It's Wimbledon expat, and she's British. We all lose our heads when a Brit does anything at Wimbledon.

What's the betting she beats Venus to the back pages tomorrow?

total gatecrash but expat thankyou!!

whoops sorry wrong thread

It's insulting as hell is what it is, to all four of those women.

Those ladies didn't even get an interview - none of them!

Those two sisters played each other in a championship match just hours before and were still there, cracking 125 mph serves across the court, and they put the kid on not after the mens' match, which was played between the juniors and the women's, but after the women's, of course.

What a sexist crock of shit!

Did they steal the stage from the men's doubles champions?

Oh no, let's just save it for the women's.

I'm beyond pissed off!

She's a kid who can't even play in adult matches for another 2-3 years, anyhow, she could wind up Jennifer Capriati by then.

Oh, and Andy Murray was winning big matches when he was in the juniors, too, but we never heard about him till he was 18 and stepped onto the men's court at Wimbledon.

are you sure whe had her presentation then?

could it have been a replay? when did the williams doubles match end?>

it wasn't a replay. it was live footage.

that's why i was so shocked.

oh, dh thought he saw her get her trophy earlier

but he has been up since 4:45

so they presented it to her twice? cos I saw it earlier.....

am confused now

she was standing in the stands on not on the court.

don't know where the women went.

i thought i was seeing things but DH is right here in the room with me.

then they went immediately to interviewing her and the grey-haired lady come on talking about her.

no post-match interviews with any of the women.

would have been nice to hear their thoughts.

and the runners-up womens doubles didn't get there just by sitting on their arses, would have been nice to see them acknowledged in an interview.

Yep. They presented it twice. Once on Court no1, and then again on Centre Court.

Why present it twice? And why on Centre Court right after the womens' doubles and not the men's?

She already had her moment.

That is a crock and an insult to the athletes who just played there, not just the winners, but the runners up, too, deserved just as much coverage for their achievement.

And then straight to interview the kid, not the women who'd just played.

i guess the bbc are just a it over-excited

as, no doubt, will be the papers tomorrow

I'm not excusing it but I think their logic was probably "it's the end of the day and hoorah she's British"

She'd recorded the interview earlier.

Don't know why they didn't interview the Williamses - did they interview them after the singles final?
