Talk About Tennis 2.0

I had actually not seen the real score. If you mess a 15-30 for a 30-15, ok, a one point mistake. 30-15 when it was 0-40 means that chair umpire really has a lot to answer for.

Oh, it was an abomination, and if the WTA is really blaming her, I'm speechless.

By the way, 15-30 to 30-15 is a two-point swing. Even a one-point mistake is unforgivable in the pros and there should be recourse for any player encumbered by such. Sharma has a very reasonable explanation for not catching it immediately and why she couldn't reconstruct the game at the end of it, which was her only hope for convincing the chair umpire that she was right. The TV commentator caught it right away. All the viewers knew it. I'm still bothered by this! It was awful.

That umpire should get a red card and 3 match ban

Can she sue for loss of earnings? Thatd teach them!

that was my thought - the WTA should give her points and prize money for that round at least, and maybe any points she was defending that week (I think she was defending title points). It's perfectly reasonable and doesn't take away anything from another player. The score should have been 2-0 Sharma in the third set, and instead it was 1-1 and she didn't win another game. It obviously affected her. It was a grave injustice in the context of competition.

I never knew about this match! Wild to watch Djokovic flail and trip and twist. It's like he's possessed.

From last week during the Monte Carlo Masters

Vika is giving Svitolina a run for her money in the alter ego department.

Yeah might not have gotten that one without the caption. Certainly would have taken a minute or two.

Did Vika get fillers for her lips?

Naomi has been taking some nice pictures lately.

I don't think so. If she did, then she's been getting them regularly.

And FWIW, I don't find Vika hard to recognize here. There's a better photo than this imo, where I find her harder to recognize. But in general, the lighting on this set of photos is much different than most photos she posts, like she added a sepia filter and it's making her look slightly less like herself in this set of photos.

(Oh, no, how unusual, Nazi Ponchi is back with his same ol' complaints...).
Too much make up on Vika, who has a gorgeous complexion. No need for that.
And Naomi is some sort of photographer's dream job. Always perfect.

Naomi indeed photographs great. Only Muguruza is even better.
