"Sets Djokovic straight" LOL .I hate "news" articles like this and unfortunately they are becoming the norm on the internet. "Person X shuts down Person Y for ...." "Person Y destroys Person X for ignorant comment". How about letting people read the article and decide who is right and who is wrong?

Other than that, they are all used to VIP treatment, and in that way they are extremely entitled. Past champions would laugh at the idea that they only way you can win is to travel with a team taking care of your needs every second. Read about the pro tour in the 50s and early 60s to find out what top players then had to put up with. Compared with those tough stars today's elite are incredibly spoiled and pampered. But it's not their fault. It's just the new reality, the era of jocks who live like the royalty of the past.

Maybe, but you could also say that pros today would laugh at past champions for failing to maintain their athletic ability and turning into mugs by the time they hit 30. I see nothing wrong with players becoming extra professional in their approach to their careers. Greats in every sport are now playing at a high level into their 30s because of all the resources they pump into keeping themselves in shape.

Today's champions? You mean the hilarious prima donnas, who threaten to abandon tournaments, if the surface is not changed to their liking, get handed towels so that they don't expend energy and need a minute between points, on top of being pampered top to bottom, WHILE playing 80 matches a year (if that)? Yes, Laver, Rosewall, Connors etc surely are impressed.

:cool:

I always stood by you when others talked about your ball striking ;) However, if you want to play that way, we can post each other's respective videos of "ball bashing"

Also, she and I chose different careers, and she still has waaaayyyss to go to catch up with what I achieved in my career (thought, I had a head start).

She is a ball bashing bimbo and no game plan. That is why she is where she is...

No need to attack @sureshs he is actually right here.
Just because she "attacked" Novak, doesn't make her bad.
It was Novak who set himself on fire.

No, it is the organizers who are telling players to come with only one person, and she is just speaking out against whiners like Djokovic because their withdrawal would mean financial disaster for the tournament and lower-ranked players.

She bashes the ball much better than you and your use of bimbo shows your misogyny and fear of successful women who have achieved far more than you ever will.

Who needs the men! Let them it cake in Paris. Equal pay for the women! The USO should go forward without the men! Fans would pack 'em in if Billie Jean would come out of retirement and partner up with Elton for mx'ed against Chrissie and Renne Richards--that'll show those mixoginists who the true tennis fans want to come out for. Bring the US Nationals back to Forrest Hills--there's a reason the sport is called lawn tennis! Dannielle Collins will you marry me!?!--I could watch your grips forever.

NO US open without Djokovic and top stars. Will this Kill the tennis in USA ??? Tennis was already in decline as one of the popular sport while golf continue to grow. will this absolutely make tennis one of the sports seldom played by public with no popularity ??? How do we bring back the days of Macenroe and Connors and Agassi ?

I have not attacked him.
also, Novak is openly speaking how he feels, not telling anyone what or how to do. Nothing wrong with it.
Collins telling him about how he can run his team and things is ridiculous. In his case, he may need a coach and Physio to run basic things. The USO plan is ridiculous, as laid out.
10 minutes after, the sports channel is showing the US baseball story of reopening and 50 players on the same field bumping into each other with 1ft distance between them.
orangutan has been promoting free opening and no masks...

Novak (and a few others) have expressed his view and no need for others to call him a whiner or try to impose own views...

This is the season where even a hint of “elite” gets you an instant character assassination from some folks.

Novak - kind of short sightedly- did not have his PR-filter on and he’ll have to pay a bit for that.

Cause it doesn’t matter if you’ve “earned it” or not. The whole system is condemned in some eyes and to have much more than others is already inherently a crime to them.

It’s French Revolution time.

Nailed it. Although I can’t really blame people per se. Tho Fed/Djoker/Rafa aren’t the culprits.

all I am saying is that it is not @sureshs fault.
if we would attack for opinions everyone who strikes the ball with less quality than Collins for example, then probably 100% of this forum should stop typing forever.

Name one. Tell me how you know. Show me someone with a ton of money who actually gives it away, most of it, not just donating an amount that really make no difference in his/her lifestyle. I know no one like you are talking about, only a few people with a lot of money who talk a good game.

ok. Roger Federer. Rafael Nadal. How do we know? Only from press reports; I do not write their checks or even know them. How much? I don’t know but it is many, many millions. Yes they can afford it. But the fact that neither claims Monaco or Bahamas as their official residence for tax purposes says something too.

Just as cringeoworthy as Djokovic's post-match boob throw.

This was how Djo was trying to keep padding stats when it worked to his advantage. Only tourneys he could play, should be played or none at all.
Self-important twit, entitled attitude and fake modesty.
