On court drama between Sloane Stephens and Pavlyuchenkova

I have had mosquito bites that hurt more than that alleged “smash”.

Girl needs to drink some concrete and harden up. Try catching a cricket ball at 150kms. Now THAT hurts.

I don't think the annoyance is because it hurts. If I was in a foul mood at somebody and they smashed a ball at me then cheered it loudly lol... I think I'd possibly swear too. Or is this just satire?

Are you always this impossible to please!

It was a sweaty woman on the court, that got angry with her opponent, was carrying a racket and wore a very short skirt. Now if that doesn't help I don't know what else to tell you!

Personally, I don’t like girls full of concrete. Even less if they devote themselves to catch cricket balls at 150 km (per hour, I assume).

So we talking about hurt feelings instead of a hurt foot?! That’s even softer!

Only going to get away with that if you claim you have a daughter.

BUT I HAVE A DAUGHTER! :mad:

I am very sorry of having disturbed your peaceful evening.

It's good to see Sloane lose her cool as she is always presented as a role model when people start ranting about Serena.

I wonder why they choose Sloane of all people?
Click to expand...
its quite obvious why they do it, here is an example of a "good, acceptable" black woman so to speak.

in any case I had to laugh because sloane doesn't seem like much of a fighter, she was talking to pavs directly, but then when pavs was coming to confront her, she was like i wasnt talking to you i was talking to the umpire. lmao bless her.

Think the other chick said "can you stop being disrespectful" after the set was finished which then lead to Sloane going over and starting the back and forth... Sloane with the "What's disrespectul is yada yada yada......."

Pavs said that 'cause Sloane was badmouthing her with the umpire due to the MTO.

IMO I think both did wrong here. Sloane for deciding if Pavs was injured enough to call a MTO and speaking badly of her with the umpire, and Pavs for continuing the discussion instead of just brushing it off.

Yes Sloane did not start the verbal altercation.

And Sloane did not cross over onto Pavs side of the court.

Had Sloane done that people would be calling for her head.

To me, it is no big deal either way (though crossing the net is a big no no) because you have 2 people in the heat of battle tempers are bound to flare up.

I'm just noting the double standards.

This is an assumption.

Nope. Not at all. People here are already defending Pavs and would not do the same for other players.

Just as people claiming they love Venus until she was in a position to win a slam in 2017 and then suddenly she was a murderer and should be jailed (for a car accident she didnt even cause).

I've been around this board and alive in America long enough to know what's up.

I defend Sloane, just if anyone cares.

I like you. I enjoy your posts and I'm typically in agreement with everything you say. But you're not having a great night. You made a comment about typical female behavior on another thread today about this same story. How do you think that wasn't instigating something based on hate? You're not calling it like you see it, you're picking a side and anyone not on it sucks. This isn't like you.

There's nothing to defend because nothing really happened. I like Venus and haven't ever heard anyone here say that. You really go to extremes lol. Pathetic.
 
Ann said:
To me it seemed like neither of them like each other and every incident was blown out of proportion by first one and then the other. I'm cool with it, completely. This is a competition not a quilting bee, let feathers get ruffled, let feels get bruised. The winner is the one that handles the controversy the best while playing superb tennis.

You know this was pretty accurate. I nailed it way back on page one. Yay me.

Well thank you and I feel the same except for this little issue that we seem to disagree on. Making a race issue out of this is totally absurd and totally ignorant. If you don't agree with that then we will just have to agree to disagree. The female thing was more of a joke towards Darcy because he's a guy. Some posts were deleted or you might know a little better what was said. It got blown out of proportion.

It is impossible that anything could get blown out of proportion here. I have never met a more mature group of internet, internetters in my life. You have now lost all credibility. I'll bet you don't even really like Federer.

I think this back and forth, who's righteous who's not, is down right ludicrous. Seems to me a bunch of silly children wanting it their way.
It is my observation that the dumbing down of humans started unfortunately when women were allowed to vote. The U.S. has been going
downhill ever since.

Yeah right, the dumbing down started then, all of history before this was fine and dandy, dumbass
 
If we allow only the righteous to vote, why would that not solve the problem?

You should put some graphite in your pencil, if the best you can come up with is "dumbass". Plus, using Stones to make a point is a sign of
low level intelligence. (by the way didn't watch the video, not my idea of idol worship or higher learning)

I know you can do better. Who knows, I might have been using sarcasm.

HAHAHAHAH. I get criticised for not reporting negative things on the WTA and then when I do I get this nonsense. Pathetic. I expect this crap from tolls like VP and tennis hands but thought you’d be above this crap.
 
I was expecting more drama. Everything seems very tame after Serena's antics.

A better video would have been, Clapton's "how many times do I have to tell you I love you". Does Clapton recognize, "how needy are you that
you need to hear it over and over and over again"?

Another artist whom I did not partially like, who did come up with something extremely funny. Meatloaf's, "I want you, I need you, but I
will never love you! But, remember 2 out of 3 ain't bad". I had a great chuckle at the brilliance of that song.

So it just goes to show what an individual is influenced by. Kind of like Sade's, "it's never as good as the first time". So true, so true, variety
is the spice of life.

Aloha

Lolyeah WTA should have more dramas and brawls. It's so exciting. They should've ended up pulling at each other's hair at the handshake and wrestling on the net.

Now that sounds entertaining. Drama with some action behind it. I could go for that :D

Certain players do it and it's nbd

And, yet, they're treated like godlesses by the tv bobbleheads... so ironic.

You get criticised for reporting differently situations of similar importance, and generally of the ratio of the reported situations.

The other day I counted 32 threads directly qualifying negatively the actions of an ATP player and none for any woman on the WTA in your last 200 threads.

What is more, you directly extend the behavior to the image of the ATP in almost every instance.

That is only one of the ways you bash the ATP, but far from the only way.

This might be the first thread since forever, where you report a WTA situation and a woman is impacted negatively (it could be hard not to, as both players are women), but even then your thread title or OP doesn't really follow your way of reporting the ATP incidents, where a maximum effort is put into bashing the players and then the ATP brand.

I mean, not long ago you made a thread where you were emphasizing the fact that a player used the word "pathetic" for another player's win by putting it in the thread title, whereas now when some pretty ugly words were used, it is merely a situation of "drama" and no mention of those words anywhere in the thread title or the OP.

In short, you get criticised for you pretty obvious double standard.
