Not sure how you could not like her when she's done absolutely nothing remotely unlikable in her career..Not to be disrespectful but does she have any fans outside Australia? I definetely don't like her very much. Hope Vondrousova wins
Thiem's return postion STINKS
What's 2015 got todo with this thread?Maybe read properly? I was talking about RG 2015 QF b/w Djokovic and Nadal. Nadal was down 0-4 in the 1st set in that match.
The Guardian waxes philosophical some more about Djokovic's behavior, in a manner that I'm sure both Djokovic fans and Serena detractors will appreciate.
A couple of interesting views have come in via email about Djokovic’s behaviour.Thomas Traill writes: Perhaps it’s partly a vicious circle, i.e. the further his popularity drops, the more he gets fed up?
It’s a sympathetic point but Andy Murray has been viewed as a bit of a moaner at various points in his career but has remained pretty popular.Going a little deeper, Abhijato Sensarma writes: I do not defend either person’s actions, but the fact that Serena Williams was penalised repeatedly on that fateful day of the US Open final for the same kind of behaviour which Novak has shown throughout this match (and hasn’t been docked points like her) shows us that different lines are drawn for men and women when it comes to penalising them for verbal abuse.I do not have enough proof to call this sexism, but when you’re letting off a person of one gender for his venting of anger, you can’t penalise another person of the other gender for doing the same! Double standards exist even at the most elite tournaments, as we’ve seen throughout the course of this match. With more awareness being raised each day, however, hopefully the new generation of chair umpires treat everyone fairly going forward.This is pretty much the point Serena Williams has [made] ever since and one I personally I agree with. Djokovic’s behaviour was perhaps delivered in a more controlled manner but the content was not dissimilar.
I’m not even a fan of Barty, just don’t like the playing style, but how can anyone call her unlikeable? She’s the literal opposite, like..?Not sure how you could not like her when she's done absolutely nothing remotely unlikable in her career..
Too bad he doesn't get to play Serena for a slamTim is a nice guy. But do nice guys win slams? Del Potro had to insult Murys mom to reach the ascendency. Tim will need a moment like that.
Perhaps he should levy a divorce joke at RAFA tomorrow.
Needs to say something about Pepe here firstTim is a nice guy. But do nice guys win slams? Del Potro had to insult Murys mom to reach the ascendency. Tim will need a moment like that.

so being kind and nice means one lacks 'mental strength'?If Thiem wins a long 5th set, he will be like:
What the hell, it's a joke really. But I've got to play.
He's a nice kid, but just lacks the mental strength of the champions.
Wow at Djoker’s mental strength to overcome that terrible call. Wins 4 straight points when he should have only had to win 2. He’s locked in. Thiem gonna have to earn this
