I only had to see how Rune treated his mother publicly a while back to form my very low opinion of him. He's one of those players whose losses I relish.

BTW, you know who's really making tennis boring? Krejcikova and Siniakova are just destroying their opponents, over and over again. They're Iga on Steroids with the women's doubles.

Not paying too much attention to the men because if alcaraz is fit there is no real contest..only Zverev to be considered...Fritz doing well as expected, Sinner struggling, also as expected, on a slow court..
Very interested to see if Kvitova can beat Pegula..she should, but...

I love to watch them, though, so much to learn...

None of us know anything about the relationship between Holger and his mom, and so are not in any position to accurately judge anything involving their interactions.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:10 am I only had to see how Rune treated his mother publicly a while back to form my very low opinion of him.

I've never heard his mother complain about 'how he treats her'.
As they say, if an outsider has a bigger problem with certain behaviour than the one the behaviour is targeted at, there's a problem.

It's not just him, it's anyone that behaves that way in public. He's just one of those people.Deuce wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:33 amNone of us know anything about the relationship between Holger and his mom, and so are not in any position to accurately judge anything involving their interactions.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:10 am I only had to see how Rune treated his mother publicly a while back to form my very low opinion of him.

They are on a certain path to the HOF. Krejcikova adding in her singles accomplishments makes that even more likely. And Siniakova has already been ranked doubles #1 at the time required to get the automatic bid with the lower GS titles. They are a juggernaut.

Vondrousova, who seems to have spilled milk all over her shirt and had a 4 year old child draw random things on her arms, is about to take out Jabeur in straight sets...

Meanwhile, Leylah and Taylor Townsend have come back from 1-5 to make it 4-5 vs. Krejcikova and Siniakova. 1st set.

I thought you were against judging people on a small sample size - and especially judging people you barely know.Owendonovan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:38 amIt's not just him, it's anyone that behaves that way in public.

It's not a judgement, I don't like people airing their laundry in public and I don't like people who yell at other people privately or publicly. It's emotionally immature.

Are you watching the match? Mannarino is just showing how a compact game can make others go nuts. Sinner is not struggling; Mannarino is playing wonderful, counter attacking tennis.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:23 am Not paying too much attention to the men because if alcaraz is fit there is no real contest..only Zverev to be considered...Fritz doing well as expected, Sinner struggling, also as expected, on a slow court..

Andreescu just broke Iga to open their match. It looks as if she's playing the kind of tennis that gives Iga fits.

Meh. It doesn't mean anything more than any other big Russian football club. Is it the best idea to wear a Russian sports team logo at the moment? Maybe not. But she's supported them before. I understand the outrage is coming from a Polish journalist who has equated it to supporting the war?

Don't know if it's noted above in the discussion about Tsurenko withdrawing, but apparently she had a conversation with Steve Simon about Russians playing on tour (where he said Russia should be able to participate in the Olympics) a couple days ago and it's upset her so much she had a panic attack before playing Sabalenka.
This is from an interview with Tsurenko.
Again, no right or wrong here, imho, as with Kostyuk, but I can't blame her.
