Stepanek match

[Gmedlo]

Did anyone see, in the Stepanek v. Youzhny match, Stepanek grabbed a ball girl during a point to change direction after he was next to the backstop and off the court? Is this legal?

Was it sexual? lol
If it was, then it's illegal

 

[arnz]

Stepanek is a pimp

 

[Leublu tennis]

Hm............

 

[Nadal_Monfils]

So that's how he gets all the ladies...

 

[RealityPolice]

Stepanek is a pimp

"YO."

 

[superstition]

He grabbed her left shoulder to keep from falling down. Nothing sexual, but not exactly polite either. He didn't even apologize or say thank you later.

yeah, if her shoulder is on her hip. . .It was nothing bad or impolite, I don't think. In fact, I thought it was pretty humorous.

 

[Rabbit]

^Exactly. Stepanek was trying to change direction, the court he was on is pretty small by pro standards. He put his left hand on her right hip as he tried to change directions. It was funny, nothing else.

 

[tenis]

Just one of the funny stuff from Radek.
Why some of YOU guys always think about legal-unlegal? Just wandering what this guys are from....

He was trying to track down a lob or something, and ended up running into the back fence where the ballgirl was. I have no idea whether he apologized afterwards or not, because at the time, he was still in the point, pushed off the fence/ballkid, and was trying to recover back to the center. I don't know whether he said anything to the ballkid after the point was over one shot later.

I think this guy Stepanek displayed such unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the match...smashing his rackets, the chair and leaving a mess on the court when he walked off...there should be some penalty or fine for this

 

[tennis_hand]

he should be banned for the beauty of the game.

 

[Atherton2003]

I have never seen a more scary looking player.

 

[Fedace]

"YO."

I really cannot see the attraction to this man by the beautiful women like Hingis and Vaidasova. He looks like he just got out of jail and is looking for his possy...:shock:

 

[Atherton2003]

who would go for this guy?

It looked like he started with her shoulder to me. They replayed it in slow motion. Maybe it ended up on her hip. The bottom line is that he used her for leverage, nothing more. It was rude, though, not to say something apologetic to her later, or at least to have thanked her. He treated her like an object.

Exactly what he thinks of her.

Yeah I found it really weird that he didn't talk to her after that, even briefly. An apology would have been in order.

Ha ha that's true!

I hope he has to pay for the chair at least.

 

[shavenyak]

That late 5th set stare he threw either at Youzhny or someone in the crowd was classic. I'm still chuckling about it.

 

[carlos djackal]

the guy is naturally disgusting, what can you do?......

 

[Fedace]

I think Stepanek broke the Wimbledon download of his match as well. i can't download the video off the wimbledon site. it saids file is broken

 

[fgzhu88]

someone needs to make like a music video montage of all his crazy antics. It would be classic :lol:

 

[jmsx521]

He has a bit of Arnold's facial features! Tough guy!

 

[EasternRocks]

After he shook hands with Youzhny, he took his racquets and smashed them on the chair, and broke all of em. Leaving them on the court. Bad sportsman!

 

[tenis]

Just like Andy!
