You are a small cat.

[RelentlessAttack]

And the standard for officiating? Where are the checks and balances?

player council can take it up with the ATP
screaming at officials on court isn’t a professional way to handle anything

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Don't talk nonsenses. Firstable check Tsitsipas press and then talk. And he doesnt get away. He constantly get warning and time violation. He is targeted big time, unlike some other proven cheaters for many years.

Nonsense? It took an hour after Medvedev flagged it. And he’s not innocent. He called the umpire stupid and a small cat, no code violation. Kyrgios scream the f word all match and nothing. But thief! Oh no Serena is cancelled.

He cannot wait for a delegation after the fact. He needs remedy immediately. Put yourself in his place.

I thought small cat means something bad in Russian

then realized it's another word for pu$$y

Wow Madlad should have been docked a point and fined $50k you don't go around calling Umpires that.

so do you routinely run around screaming at colleagues or bosses on a job as a problem solving tactic?

Yeah you guys should pick up a book sometime.

We do, and then put them down if they turn out to be girl books.

Didn't Serena threaten to kill an umpire or linesperson or something like that? She has also done the crip walk, an indication that she may be affiliated with a street gang.

 

[Bambooman]

Notice how I don’t tag you guys or follow you on multiple threads? You’re now posting about me where I’m not even in the conversation. Rent free babes.

I guess you're not aware that you are the butt of the joke.

 

[tennis4me]

I was curious whether the umpires in other sports like football (soccer), give warnings (yellow cards) faster than in tennis and found out that several PhDs in Austria did a study on the subject.

May I Curse a Referee?
https://www.jssm.org/mobile/fulltextmobile.php?id=jssm-10-341.xml

The key points are:

• Lack of consistency in referees’ response to a verbal offence.
• Referees’ qualification as well as the duration of serving as a referee did not influence the effect.
• The insulting content is crucial for a red card.

Again watch Tsitsipas press and then talk. Also how you going to warn someone if you don't understand a single word he is saying???
How you know he is giving advice and not just motivate him with come on or so?

False equivalence if I ever saw one. His job is literally to peak 4 times a year. Someone/something is getting in his way. He has to break through.

Let me remind you of something very important. He is not being abusive for the sake of abuse. He sees a pattern of negligence with regard to a blatant match rule infraction. With every instance of the infraction, his sense of justice is probably bring triggered. It is so easy to point at the loud Medvedev and say he is rude. What is the umpire doing? What is Apostolos doing? What is Tsitsipas doing?

Why are you so nonchalant about the subversion of justice here?

Answer my question !

Cant compare this is a classic

Cry baby
why coaching is illegal in tennis anyway its just plain stupid

Not stupid. By not allowing coaching, it separates the smart players from the stupid ones.

'The question, jerk! " - John McEnroe

Advantage Meddy.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Tsitsipas was getting away with coaching, Medvedev called the umpire stupid and a small cat, Kyrgios has said the f word multiple times. All got away with it. Serena’s coaching and the word thief? No no that was the bad stuff! She was right when she said the men get away with worse and we saw it this tournament.

JFC.

 

[Aabye5]

Umpire, thinking to himself, "Next time you step onto my court, amigo, be prepared!"

Unbelievably dumb.

lmao subversion of justice
bro this is a game, not the civil rights movement
In the NHL he would have been fined, and that’s the most lenient major league with abuse of officials. He would have been penalized much more harshly by the NFL, NBA, or soccer leagues

there are countless ways he could solve this problem without screaming like a toddler

 

[Azure]

The only argument I can make here is that the umpires were different. I wouldn't just tie it down to gender/race. There is inconsistency in umpiring for sure.

 

[randomtoss]

What a load of bs

Waouh, you're a tough debater.

 

[intrepidish]

Medvedev and his attitude are a terrible look for the sport.

Nothing is stopping him from having a conversation with the umpire without talking to him that way.

No one should be making excuses for him.

if you’re older than 15, you should be embarrassed

 

[middleballs]

This has already spawned a new meme era. I couldn’t be happier, I hope he’ll never grow up. We need our bad boy version of Peter Pan out there screaming about cats, boring serve & volley players and evil Apostolos.
I’m not even joking.

Med barely dug deep for that small cat thing

 

[PilotPete]

Well he's highlighting a larger problem in the game. These umps are weak and don't want to enforce the rules. They need to clean house and retrain new umps who will enforce the rules with an iron fist. IT's the only way to maintain the integrity of the game.

 

[Krish0608]

Medvedev still determined to be a heel, im not feeling it. He's an ambassador for the sport now, it's time to grow up a bit.

Lacks the capacity to grow up. He’s a classless clown. Sorry but it’s true. He’s been ranting and bullying players and chair umpires all week. Somebody’s gotta speak up about it. It’s not funny anymore. It’s offensive and obnoxious. And by somebody I mean somebody powerful, like Rafa.

He had a right to call out Stefanos and his father tho. Perhaps should have been more cordial about it

 

[intrepidish]

Between insinuating that an umpire is favorable to an opponent because they are both black, yawning in a player's face, screaming at a lower ranked player who is playing well that he's lucky and complaining it's so boring to play him, even before we get to last night and Medvedev absolutely losing it with an umpire in a way that should get you ejected right away, he's a clown.

It's not cute and Medvedev knows it which is why he almost always walks this stuff back and we get to hear about his psychologist.

You would never hear great champions like Novak, Rafa or Fed ever abusing the empire like that. Med needs to learn and grow up.

You could've linked to the reddit/twitter post. Oh wait, you're unoriginal and uncreative.

[Im(moral) Winner]

Oof, he definitely lost it there. It's one thing to complain to the umpire, and I get that it's probably pretty loud with the roof closed and the night match crowd, but the yelling is a bit over the top.

Tennis as a sport really lets players get away with a lot when it comes to arguing with umpires. Most sports you'd get booted. But it's always been that way. Med's hardly unique.

Do other players in individual get booted?

 

[Gary Duane]

He cannot wait for a delegation after the fact. He needs remedy immediately. Put yourself in his place.

I'm going to stay out of this mostly, but if it's true that he was getting illegal coaching from the father, then Med's rage to me is completely understandable.

 

[Shangri La]

Good thing about the next gen is it seems they are not afraid to speak the truth. From corrupted to little cat, and all the candid Med's on-court interviews. That's really a breath of fresh air when everyone else tries to be diplomatic.

 

[Aabye5]

Honestly though, the umpire should have given him at least a warning.

Jaume was incredibly patient, but Med went too far. The cat comment was probably not even the worst part.

No no that was the bad stuff! She was right when she said the men get away with worse and we saw it this tournament.

Doesn't matter if she was right. The rules are the rules, and her coach got caught. He should know better than to put her in a position where she can be penalized for his actions.

 

[The Safinator]

Medvedev still determined to be a heel, im not feeling it. He's an ambassador for the sport now, it's time to grow up a bit.

Anyone who has ever played competitive tennis, or any other sport, knows emotions can run high and when you can see obvious cheating, it is enough to flip your lid. It's not a big deal, happens all the time. Everyone will get over it. He's still only 25.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy is box office. Sit down umpire! Small cat

 

[Rosstour]

That's the thing. First with Shapo and now him. It's like they lash out for their own shortcomings. Deal with it. And then make it known later politely.

Shapo was 100% right and attempted to call Rafa/Bernardes out respectfully. I see nothing wrong with what he did or his frustration.

 

[President]

Lol the umpire got a bit ticked off at one point and said "what do you want?!"

Good for Mad Lad. He's defending the integrity of the game in a competition that's looking increasingly corrupt.
