- they need to change the rules on the WTA to limit wildcards more effectively like they have on the ATP
- This is just getting beyond ridiculous!!
Not to mention unsportsmanlike and unfair to serious up & coming contenders.
- No, writer, we were not "stunned". If you knew your business you would have been aware of her statement last weekend re: her knee and retirement.
The main take-away here is that Simona went out on her own terms. She surely wanted to play again after WTA & ITIA screwed her out of her final productive seasons.
Personally, I believed she was going to make this announcement when I saw the President and his family in their box seats.
Good for Simone -- now she can move on to other things as she said she would.
- "If Novak did this, he would be defaulted for life. WTF." 🤣 WTF sounds like What Tennis Fury?! What Tennis Flurry??! I mean, se-rious-ly, it was actually the unfairness of the silly umpire's decision that is the issue here! Further, how come it was Gurin & his team who got disqualified? If this kind of thing happens in soccer, it would be the other guy getting the yellow or red card! Because after all, it was the Belgian who's foul it was so why then penalize the opponents for something they didn't instigate? Fouls in both basketball and soccer are read as a hinderance that has been caused by the player who INITIALLY instigated the hinderance. In this case, okay, it is tennis, but while the precise rules are different to either soccer or basketball, the same type of recognition as to whoever instigates a hinderance should apply, and in this case, it was the Belgian player.
- Medvedev talking to his form here. "Some actual deep problem." 🤣😂🤣
- "Hopefully, the team around her will help... "
Actually, the lack thereof seems to have been part of the problem(s). Another possibility is that, while dealing with legitimate surgeries, withdrawing, and otherwise passing on events, the competition has stepped-up in intensity while she was busy with traveling, photo shoots, and TV commercials.
- Ha-ha-ha... Translation: I'll help as long as I don't have to meet in person and endure the ongoing BS"
- Well said.
- So tennisuptodate doesn't even make this event a headline on this site? I had to find it hidden here. Not a word about Yastremska trying to ruin Alexandrova's celebration with her postgame actions?? According to WTA regulations, Yastremska has some punishment coming her way for walking-off court, blowing-off postgame rituals with the winner; including no photos, etc.
