"Was that look for something?"

"Well done"

"Ok, good"

Go get 'em Venus. Say what you will about Serena, but Venus has always had a lot of class and was right to call out her opponent for her poor sportsmanship.

What was Strycova's problem anyway? It kinda surprises me that she did this after seeing a video not long ago where her opponent barely shook her hand at the end of the match and she deliberately grabbed hold of it to make sure there was a handshake! Lol, some of the female players can be so petty it's actually quite funny.

Bad loser is the right word.

Good that venus confronted her.

Nothing wrong with that handshake. So what if she stared at Venus. Non issue being made into a pseudo controversy.

There's always gotta be one :roll: watch the match.

Match is finished. Even in boxing the stare downs are over when the fight is done. Pretty unclassy and tame (she could have done a better job of it at least).

This is one of those instances where HD really is needed.

Man i love Venus.. Ever so sweet and always classy

But take her kindness for weakness or overstep your boundaries and she will check you right away..

Let that be a lesson to you passive aggressive pseudo tough guys.. Don't start nothing and there won't be nothing!

 

[Govnor]

She got checked. haha

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

Provocative and arrogant on the part of Zahlavova Strycova who clearly came across as a sullen creep. Bleep her...

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Not sure what's wrong the czech players, first Lendl,...Berdych in his young days, Rosol, Stepanek... now this girl, looks like they like a bit of blood :lol:

 

[jmnk]

well, after seeing the replay of the incident that likely sparked 'the stare' I kind of see why Strycova was not entirely happy. check this and judge for yourself - was that challenge really timely?

yes, obviously the main fault lies with the umpire - but still......
