There's nothing like the sound of a bassoon, is there?

Are people not allowed to watch tennis in China or something? There's like 50 people there.
According to one poster "The Chinese are coming" and there is a rising interest in the game.
Still waiting to see that he knows what he is talking about.

How was the end-of-the-match handshake: cold, confrontational, gracious or perfunctory?
Anyway, great reflexes at the net by Sloane.

I saw it too and Sloane was at the service line for pete's sake. There's nothing wrong with going at the player; the tennis ball doesn't hurt. Berdych made a big deal about it too at AO 2012 against Almagro. I say make them play cricket, with like a real cricket ball. That should shake the whinginess out of them.

Great words flow from the plethora of your wisdom
It does hurt to get hit with a tennis ball. WTF are you talking about?
And if it was a problem for Sloane, who are you to say it's not a problem?

I have been hit smack on the head by passing shots. No, it doesn't hurt. I mean, it might give a burning sensation for a while but it's not even going to bruise you and you won't bleed. Do you have any idea what it's like to be hit on the back of a head by a cricket ball? Do you know that players have died after being hit on the head by a cricket ball? THAT's dangerous.
Er, if Sloane cannot respect the rules of a tennis, I certainly will have a problem with that. If she has a problem with somebody going at her body, maybe she shouldn't play tennis because it's allowed in tennis and I will spare no expense in mocking players who choose to whinge or disrespect opponents for going at them.

Actually no, I got hit by a coach about my age and it was a powerfully struck ball. Maybe my tolerance for pain is much higher than the touch me not that you seem to be.

Normally I would, too, but take a look at SS's shoulders/biceps sometime. She looks like she lifts refrigerators in her spare time.What?
I have $10 on Pavs if this breaks out into a bar brawl.

It was just a rather clumsy effort at an overhead from Pavs that went somewhere, anywhere which happened to be near Sloane, whose feelings were hurt in that moment. They were cool in the end.
Nobody seems to think that perhaps Pavs like most WTA isn't good at overheads. For some reason most WTA aren't really authoritative like the men with their overhead.

They French kissed briefly, but the real making-up takes place in the locker room. ;^)B
