I have Yastremska vs Krejcikova on. I'm not exactly sure why though...

Vekic snubs Tsurenko after the match. She didn't even go to the net for the handshake. Not really sure why. I didn't watch the match. Just saw the highlight of when the match ended. Tsurenko even went over to Vekic who was packing up her bag and she didn't even acknowledge her at all.

Bencic out to Teichmann, in a rather strange match.
I had to look at Tsureno and Vekic's flags to make sure. Why the snub? Let's she if she gets asked in the presser.

I watched much of the third set of the Vekic loss. Other than Tsurenko smiling after some winners and such- no over-celebrating at all- I sure can't figure out why Vekic snubbed Tsurenko.
I also watched some of the third set of the Bencic loss. Teichmann played some outstanding tennis to go up 5-1- with Bencic doing her usual grouchy and sulking Lady Macbeth act- at which point Bencic got better, Teichmann showed some nerves, but played well enough to win it 6-3 in the third. Which, of course, is all that matters.

....AND since, odds are, Petra would lose to Mandlikova- I am not getting anywhere near Kvitova's match with her daughter.

When she didn't even acknowledge her when she walked over to her bench while she was packing her bag, Vekic must have been pissed about something.ti-amie wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:50 pmThat is odd.Scoob wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:39 pm Vekic snubs Tsurenko after the match.

From what I've read there was some gamesmanship by Tsurenko?

Would that disrespect/non- handshake/non-acknowledgement have occurred if Kostyuk's nonsense had not been accepted by the WTA?
Hmmmm...
Other players see that Kostyuk is getting away with totally disrespecting selected opponents without any punishment - so what's to stop players from deciding that they, too, have a 'justifiable reason' to show no respect for their opponent, as well?
If they are threatened with punishment, they need only point to Kostyuk's behaviour being accepted.
The WTA better be very, very careful with this - because Kostyuk's behaviour, apart from being bush-league, sets an ugly and unwanted precedent.

I wasn't watching this match, but Lesia definitely has a history of some healthy acting out there on court. For me, it's gotten out of control and I barely watch her. But I can't remember the last time I watched her where her mannerisms and ailments on court didn't have the commentators talking about her needing to consider retiring from the match and she's gone on to win all of the ones that come to mind. It's her go to.

I also did not watch the match. I do agree that there are certain things that a player should abide by during the match that does not lead to disruption or gamesmanship. The players expect that from the fans. They certainly would not like a fan booing them during a match while the other player gets cheered or while serving a fan calls out. It is just the rules and etiquette of the game. The handshake is also the etiquette of the game as well.In the end what are they playing... A GAME. Sure there is a lot of prize money involved, but it is a game between 2 competitors or 4 competitors.
I am not sure how this can be handled, because I do not think it is at the level of a chair umpire to handle something like this or even a tournament director. I am not sure where this would go to be handled, actually. It seems it is in the players hands right now.

If you are going to enforce it, it must be by fining the offending player. After all, the match is over.
