Tennis

[Sir Chadley]

Sorry guys, I don't care about the two of them either - great to see Tomic fined his entire Wimbledon prize money for tanking.

In regards to baning them from the tour, apparently it is harder to do than you think.

According to the tennis experts, if they have a ranking that enables them to enter a tournament, the current rules do not allow for any organiser's discretion to exclude them, apparently it is mandatory they are accepted which is ludicrous.

And just one last word on idiot number 2 that played Nadal last night. I heard a snippet of his post match interview that said he thoroughly enjoyed himself on the court against Rafa and enjoyed the experience. In the next breath, he said, "But there'll probably be negative things still written or said about me." Yes mate, because you are a dick.

See this is the issue. Not having a go at you Chad, but everyone continues to talk about these two ****heads.

We have the world number 1 women's player, we should be talking about her.

No worries mate, it's the last I'll speak of them.

I really looking forward to watching Ash Barty's next game against the British girl.

She should win but it won't be a pushover.

No need to apologise mate.

She should meet Serena in the quarters if everything follows the script.

That would be big*.

* The match, that is. Not talking about Serena's anatomy!

I reckon Serena at 38 is on the way out.

Ash will have a plan for her.

 

[HaroldBishop]

So Fox can't show Barty tonight because channel 7 has it. And of course it's on standard def.

****ing imbeciles, do they not realise it ain't 1995 anymore.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Barty starts off with four aces in a row to win the first game.

Up 4-1 in the first.

Ricky opponent. One of those players that will hit plenty of winners but also plenty of errors.

Just need to be patient.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Tricky

 

[HaroldBishop]

Real fight on her hands here.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Bummer, Ash gone.

Gee the American girl was impressive, great groundstrokes.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Indeed she was mate. Powered home.

Barty didn’t seem herself in the third set, couldn’t handle Riske’s game.

Disappointing.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Someone won the Washington Open today.

****ed if I can remember his name.

 

[Flanno]

Someone won the Washington Open today.

****ed if I can remember his name.

Looking forward to never hearing about it again

 

[Flanno]

Kyrgios embarrassing himself and us again. Why do they let him get away with speaking to umpires like that? It wouldn’t be tolerated in any other sport

Because there are a group of people who enable this sort of behaviour because they believe it makes the sport ‘more interesting’ or ‘better to watch’ but all it does is embarrass the sport and the country the athlete represents. I don’t know why there’s a section of sports fans who like it when our sports stars act like arrogant wankers, **** those sort of people.
Respect for officials should be non-negotiable in any sport. I wish soccer, baseball and League protected their officials more.

Well said mate!
