Hostile players

[Clemson_tennis]

Who are some hostile players ic college tennis? Players who just love fights with their opponents. Maybe they need that to get motivated or some other reason?

[Clemson_tennis]

I rememebr Carlos Alvarez of Clemson used to get into disputes and fights with nearly every player he played against.

You should have seen the Kentucky - Ohio State match today. Those two teams really hate each other. Forget sportsmanship. Screaming and chest pumping while staring across the net at the opponent after EVERY point won, and I am not exaggerating; even after a double fault. Eric Quigley and Chase Buchanan declined to join in this display, and the #6 match was not too bad, but the other four matches were really nasty.

Jomby has always been a yeller. It's weird watching a UK match and not being on his court, because he'll let out a scream of triumph, and you'll think "Oh, he just got a break or won a set." Then you look over, and he's serving at 30-15 or something.

Agree. but i blame the coaching staff not the players in this regard. Coaching staff has to take charge and put a stop to this kind of unsportsman like display. It doesn't matter if this college tennis. Coaches that does nothing are to be blamed

Exactly. In college, we played this one team in particular a few times and their coach was a complete ******. It showed in the players. He could care less how they conducted themselves and it was always a nightmare playing against them, considering I always tried to keep my cool and not get into confrontations. These guys were always ready to fight! The coach needs to step up and put a stop to it.

I don't know about hostile, but I always get the feeling most people don't like Ignacio Taboada...not sure why really...

Yes, I know some Clemson players dont tlike him. Other teams too.

somewhat relevant to this thread:

per the UGA blogger today, KU Singh has taken to yelling "break on three!!!!" whenever he breaks serve nowadays, in reference to his position in the lineup

i hope someone kicks his ***, in tennis or otherwise, for that display

Actually a lot of teams are doing that now. But it seems like it's not the top teams. At the Kick Off weekend was the funniest example I've seen. Boise state vs Santa Clara. Both teams are the Broncos. All match long we kept hearing Break On 3 Broncos, and nobody knew unless they were watching which team was yelling.

Matt Emery and Jesse Witten were both really hostile when playing for Kentucky.

Baylor...pick your player.

what is wrong with yelling that ? there is no four letter words in there. If he yelled "Break on three against my punk a-- dodo bird". That would be different.

Cedric Willems has a bright future in this thread. He has already gotten into some spats with umpires and opponents in his very short Clemson career. Very hostile with Rodney carey today from Wisky. Carey was as well. Bad blooded match

[jaggy]

I think their are boundaries you dont cross, when non-playing team members on the sideline start screaming when someone misses or the balls in the air before a serve I get really turned off.

[Clemson_tennis]

Apparently Cueto was overruled at 5-5 in his tiebreak vs Thompson to lose the match. Im sick of seeing that. Players need to stop trying to buy cheap line calls when the match gets tight. Play your game.

Never thought I'd be saying this Dawgie Dawg, but I have to agree with you here. And now in the pros he might be even worse.

Well now we have to part ways - knew I couldn't agree for long with you, but I tried. First of all the TN coach is from England, NOT Australia. Get your facts straight. The new guys are great and the only TN player I've ever seen go CONSISTENTLY nuts was Williams. Fickey lost it in one match, but the team paid the price and I bet that won't ever happen again. Fickey seems really teachable and like a good team player.

I don't understand why you insist on personal attacks - just enjoy some tennis man! You've got a great team this year - why don't you just focus on that? Geez!
