Which makes me believe something is wrong with Krejcikova. Sure, her "I'm part of the big 4" statement has been discussed several times. But her loss was listless, and now losing in doubles too makes me wonder. They are, after all, a formidable team.

by patrick Think I heard Siniakova was recovering from a wrist injury.

by ashkor87 Nice to see Pegula entered in mixed..a neglected event!

by ti-amie Alizé is 100% correct. SST and Bouzkova should be ashamed of themselves.

by ashkor87 Shocking that they would default someone for this! Even the wording of the rule says default is for something done violently or in anger ..this was neither !

by ti-amie That picture of them giggling like mean girls...

:x

by ti-amie This video.

Yes the ballgirl was crying but the implication that there was blood was a bold faced lie. SST and Bouzkova should be disqualified from the tournament.


by ponchi101 If they did indeed claim there was blood, I agree they should also be disqualified.

Also, the ball girl is a wuss.

I wonder why she broke down like that? Was this her first time getting hit and if so why was she working at a Slam?

by ti-amie Sorribes Tormo defends herself against criticism following Kato default
Kato disqualified after accidentally striking ball girl with ball
Spaniard and doubles partner Bouzkova protested warning

Tumaini Carayol at Roland Garros
Mon 5 Jun 2023 22.30 BST

Sara Sorribes Tormo has defended herself against intense criticism following the controversial default of Miyu Kato from their French Open third-round doubles match on Sunday. Kato, meanwhile, has lodged an appeal against the default.

During the second set of the match in which the Spanish-Czech pair Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova were playing against Kato and Aldila Sutjiadi of Japan and Indonesia, Kato accidentally struck a ball girl with a ball, who burst into tears. Kato did not strike the ball in anger.

The umpire, Alexandre Juge, initially gave Kato and Sutjiadi a warning but Sorribes Tormo and Bouzkova protested. They pointed out that the ball girl was crying, suggested she was bleeding and one of the players stated: “This is default.” After some time, and the arrival of the supervisor, a tearful Kato was defaulted. The victors have since received significant criticism for their role in the decision.

“First of all, we were saying that the ball kid was crying because we were scared, because we were [saying]: ‘Oh, something happened,’” said Sorribes Tormo. “Then we were saying that the ball was direct because [the umpire] didn’t see the ball. All the rest [of] the decision was taken by the supervisor, and I think it’s not our thing or we haven’t done anything bad. That’s the only thing I’m going to say about this.”

After releasing a statement on Twitter, Kato returned to the court a day later, winning her mixed doubles quarter-final with her partner, Tim Puetz. From the beginning of the press conference, Kato was tearful, leading to the moderator briefly ushering her out of the room. When she returned, she told reporters in Japanese that she was appealing against the decision to the grand slam board.

Kato explained in Japanese that she had received ample support from players in the locker room. One supportive player was Alizé Cornet, who tweeted at Kato, pointedly stated that a lot of players were supporting her “except Marie and Sara obviously”.

After her own doubles match on Monday, Cornet was extremely critical: “Yesterday, what happened, we reached a peak of injustice,” she said in French. “Especially Kato! She almost apologises for living. To be disqualified for that … When I think about it, it makes me want to break everything. She was crying. I hate injustice. The referee really made a huge mistake. He was influenced by the other players. The tournament should apologise to Kato. They disqualified her! The strongest thing you can do.”


https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/ ... ult-tennis

by ti-amie This confirms that Bouzkova/SST did not see what happened.

by ponchi101 But (and I am not saying you or anybody is doing that).
if we excuse SST/Bouzkova for NOT SEEING WHAT HAPPENED, by that same logic Kato should not have been disqualified because there was no intent to hit the ball girl. If intentions come into scrutiny, then Kato is the first one whose intentions were nowhere near to what she ended up being punished for.

Also. What Owen said about the ball girl.

Honestly, this behavior does not shock me from SST, who I lump in with all the players that are deliberately annoying on court like Trevisan and SIegemund, but it's kind of surprising from Bouzkova, who is a former winner of the WTA Sportsmanship Award and well-liked by most of the tour.

by ashkor87 Leylah'-Taylor vs Pegula-Gauff about to start...I love watching women's doubles..bcos ss a club player I can play like them, lots to learn.the men are on another planet!

have declined all client meetings so I can watch,! Taylor and Leylah should do well..and, of course the gauff-pegula is a proven combo...

by ashkor87 Coco and pegula couldn't break leylah despite 3 DFS!

by ashkor87 6-0 first set...Pathetic play by Pegula

by ashkor87 Taylor by far the best player on court..!

by ashkor87 Wonder if something is wrong with Pegula...listless and sluggish...I expected much better fron her today...

by ashkor87 Wonder if something is wrong with Pegula...listless and sluggish...I expected much better fron her today...quitting watching now, poor show by all except TT

by ponchi101 I just noticed that Hsieh and Wang are playing together. I mean... what are they saying in China of that? It is not as if that regime allows their people to do as they wish.

by Fastbackss Leylah and Bianca making it to finals of Doubles???

Deuce! You're needed

I wondered the same thing ...has China suddenly become more tolerant or will they position it as an all -china team, since they anyway consider Taiwan to be part of china?

She didn't win the title but you wouldn't know it by the response to her by Peruvian fans.

by ashkor87 Fernandez and TT on a roll! Great play by both, making Wang look clueless...

by ashkor87 Wang hardly misses a first serve...something to learn about doubles, for us club players

by ashkor87 Leylah is the weak link now...

by ti-amie

They didn't win but who had them making the Final? (I'm sure someone here did but still)


by skatingfan I think the doubles duo I would like to see more of is Hsieh/Townsend - that would be a fun pair to watch.

by ashkor87 They are a bit too similar though . A good doubles pair, ib theory, would be a touch artiste and a classical serve and volley player..

by ponchi101 In theory. And you are thinking doubles teams from the past, when both players would serve and volley. That is not longer the strategy.

by ashkor87 Actually Wang and Hsieh did fit the theoretical model

by ponchi101 I was not able to see them. Imagine, if I have problems watching WTA matches because they never show any (only at slams), imagine the dearth of doubles matches being shown.

Wang is a classical, conventional player with a good serve and solid game, Hsieh is a magician.. that is the perfect combination.
