am sad to see Wertheim banished from the SI page - always look forward to his mailbags..he is, in my opinion, the most fair and balanced of all the tennis journalists - he is out just because of one silly comment about Krejcikova's forehead. who gains by all this? not us, for sure.

I couldn't remember what he'd done to be banished to be honest. Many, many tennis "journalists" have said worse about other players present and past.

Hot mic’d. Tasteless snarky comment but who hasn’t made one of those when we thought no one was listening? I have.

I live in fear for the day he hangs it up! That’s how I found TAT about 20 years ago!

Who hasn't made a comment like that knowing people were listening?
It is downright McCarthyistic. The slightest bit, and you are banned, punished or ex-communicated. Way too much.
It is not as if the guy is a walking insulting machine.
(Still peeved with him when he said "the poorly named" contest (meaning our SP), especially after we had changed it. But, still love his commentary).
