I applied for Colombian citizenship FOUR YEARS AGO. The process is still pending (I have lived here for 12). And the test for citizenship is a comprehensive test of THE CONSTITUTION and HISTORY of the country, plus miscellaneous questions about geography and culture.
I barely passed.
Well, most senators in Colombia probably would fail outright...

I assume she went to school in France. There is a more streamlined process towards citizenship here for those who're born and educated here. Perhaps in France as well.

I can't believe she erased the mark right in front of the chair!

Absolutely disgusting behavior.
Shuai is a better person than a lot of us for shaking the ref and that girls hand.
But then again it’s Shuai we are talking about , ofc she did.

Why would that erasure of the mark should be any different from when players erase a mark as a way to conceding that the ball was in?

If your opponent is challenging a call is it proper for you to walk over, erase the mark as if to say "deal with it"? Why couldn't she wait and let things play out if the call was legitimately out?

So bush league. This was an ugly scene all around. Horrible call, horrible treatment by the umpire, horrible crowd reaction, horrible sportsmanship from the opponent. Welcome to villainhood, Toth-whoever.

Looks like it, and it is an exhibition - two sets with a super-tie break played at a set all.

Seems many people still don't know they're being filmed and there's a thing called social media that destroys people in moments. See you next Tuesday, Kiara.

Wont' be physically taxing, although I'm sure he's a little tired from the final and all the media... and most people would want to go home and celebrate with their family and friends. Credit to him for keeping his commitment. He'll be a huge draw. He his probably getting paid a bundle.
