Why didnt we see 'Booing is disgraceful thread' when Azarenka took MTO ?

Azarenka lost the set in the semi finals of AO 2013 against Sloane, took MTO.

The AO crowd booed her. I dont recollect seeing 'Booing is disgraceful thread' then?

I'm gonna have to go with something a long the lines of, because Azarenka didn't and doesn't (period) have a reputation of taking MTO's in big matches, unfortunately Nadal does, I'm not a Nadal hater, i haven't said anything bad about him since the final but history doesn't lie, whether Nadal's MTO's were legit or not, i don't know but i won't say his the worst cheat ever or anything

that and there are many more nadal fans here than azarenka fans. its that simple.

Azarenka lost the first set in the finals of AO 2013, took MTO.

The AO crowd booed her. I dont recollect seeing 'Booing is disgraceful thread' then?

Simply because no one watch WTA ? :lol:

I had no idea about this story until i opened this thread and i guess that's the case for many users here.

Or we can be really cynical and just say that Nadal has better PR.

Yes, there is great passion for women, but not the women's game.

And she had the honesty to admit that she was dishonest before sanity intruded and she became honest yet again.

Anything that the opposing fans disagree with is called "disgraceful". It's really a cliched and overused term (of little value) at this point.

theres many things horribly flawed with your premise and baseless supposition of your question.

but, are you actually comparing Azeranka with Nadal

in regards to any criteria, that would be rather insane, as Nadal is all-time great with 13 slams! he is in the same echelon as Federer and Sampras and deserves comparable respect. Azeranka is certainly not there yet.

try putting the booing that occurred in its proper context!

The point is the crowd saw it and booed the same way.

It is only the Nad fans who cannot see the truth.

Nadal deserves to be condoned because he has 13 majors ? LOL.

Yeah, the Nadal fans should have started that thread. Such double standards, no ?



Touche (for the why didn't Fed fans scream when ....) threads, lol.

 

[snowwhite]

Long story short, Azarenka didn't break too many people's hearts like Nadal did (thus being way more hated)

This.. no one cares about the WTA..

 

[cknobman]

I think the fans were just glad Azarenka shut the heck up for a few minutes.

No one is going to boo the lack of her high pitched squeal.

 

[woodrow1029]

If I remember correctly, there were several threads like that, but most of them got deleted.

On the contrary, I remember seeing several posts that admonished her. ESPN was talking about that every match of Azarenka this year.

Just that this some fans in this forum see it differently.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Nadal has a huge reputation for strategic MTOs. Boy who cried wolf, really. People didn't believe him when he had what seems a real injury.

to compares Azeranka's MTO against Sloane, where she inadvertently admitted that she took a time out because she was losing, to Nadal against Warwinka is absolutely preposterous!

there is much hate within you!

so in other words...its ok too boo someone as long it isnt your hero?

Yeah, I don't like the double standard. Both incidents were at the AO, lol.

And how many times in her career did she takes MTO when losing in compare to Nadal? Don't forget Wimbledon 2010 when even PMac who is a Nadal fan questioned Nadal MTO when he was losing to Petz.

First of all, no he's not.

But, more importantly, I didn't know that the moment you won your 13th slam, you became immune to the rules. Or was it the 12th? 11th? First?

Because a perennial liar and cheat is going to be honest this one time. :roll:

 

[OddJack]

Yes there was a thread about it

i see that you're dense and niave at the same time :shock:

the point was, that Azeranka admitted she took her MTO in said incident because she was losing (in so many words). Nadal has never admitted to such! only Fedephants and other haters malignly conjecture that about Nadal.

rules

MTOs are allowed under the rules! so please recognize reality!

And yet Nadal has a history of calling the MTO whenever he loses but never when he's leading. Injuries occur at random time, not magically happened when you're losing.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

... I thought we did?

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

Nonsense.

There was no outrage around here, because some hate Azarenka (who knows why), so they supported the infantile treatement she recieved in that match.

I was talking about rules of decency, but MTOs for fake/exaggerated injuries are against the rules, too.
