I didn't argue this, but it was argued that the coaching was a real positive for Serena.

How quickly people forget when it suits!

I could have sworn the illegal coaching AND the racquet smashing AND the "you're a liar and a thief" out-of-control-rage-rant "could have been match-turning in nature".

When will you people give it a rest? It's getting ridiculous.
If you checked the forum today, you would have seen that the most popular options were the threads related to Serena, the thread asking if you think Djokovic is good looking, or the thread asking who of the Big Four would you date, but directed to men.
So it’s evident Serena was the safest option.

Where would the moral outrage be if it were worthless, which indeed it was? But there were plenty of outraged males morally condemning her just a few days ago.
So what Serena did was not morally condemnable?
Not about being coached, it’s about the tantrum, calling the umpire a thief, demanding to be sorry recognition, smashing the racket, just in case.

Half these low life’s have nothing better to do than sit in their mums basement criticising Serena. Jokes have been done, she’s been rightfully torn to shreds, now the Davis Cup and other tournaments are underway and tennis is back up and running. If they’re still hung up on Serena and not actually caring about tennis going on than that shows the type of poster they are.

It’s not Serena’s fault that she is a more interesting topic to discuss. Or is it?

I guess you’re not a true tennis fan if you find her actions from like 2 weeks ago more interesting than the mammoth Davis Cup 5 setters we saw this weekend or the cool tournaments coming up this week and instead want to post the same joke about having a daughter. I mean some of us are on here to talk about tennis, I guess others are here just to joke about Serena for 2 weeks straight.

Why limit oneself when the possibilities are countless? Why not do both? Remember it’s been the weekend and there is much free time.

I find that stale jokes get old after a while and spamming the forum with boring content when there’s other quality tennis stuff going on is much better but hey I guess you guys like to focus on joking about Serena and her motherhood since you have nothing better to do with your lives :)

I miss the days of genuine tennis discussion and not just ‘but i’m a mother’ crap.

This weekend I played tennis for two hours, I read an interesting book, I listened to some good music, I went out to a fancy restaurant with my family, I had some drinks with friends, I had a good rest after a heavy working week, slept until late, I joined TTW interesting discussions about tennis stats, whether Djokovic was good looking, about which Big Four was better to date being a man, and last but not least, I bashed Serena a little bit.
How could I ask for more?
 
It's NY Times so take it with a pinch of salt but very revealing nonetheless.

Taking pleasure in bashing someone just shows what type of person you are. Plain and simple really. There’s rightful criticism and calling someone out and then there’s bashing them. You fall into the latter and seem proud of it. How sad.

Their male coaches are doing the offending, but the rule obliges the umpire to fine the woman as the principal.

So coaching is still an area where males are the majority offenders, so there is no real anomaly in the data.

And coaching is the only violation with majority of women offenders? This is sexist. We should sue the NYT.

Your self righteous little friend was hoping you led a sad and pathetic life. How disappointed he must be. :(

He is a good guy. But he doesn't take this place too seriously.
He is just having fun. That's him talking out of his ass deliberately. He is good in serious discussions too. The same way we troll Rafa he is trolling Serena.. it's the internet afterall.. I can tolerate it when people make fun of players and everyone knows that it's just for fun and means nothing really but I can't tolerate when guys try to actually make a player and his achievements look bad in all seriousness.
I like how many Fed fans do the former about Rafa and sound funny doing it. But when they do the latter it's cringe. Sadly only few Nadal fans have a sense of humour and all the criticism they provide falls in the latter category.

I will try to improve that. I quit smoking cigarettes some years ago, so I hopefully believe I can overcome this other vice.
I’ll join Serenabashers Anonymous some day, but today I’m not ready for that.

And I am a father. Don’t forget about that, please.
