The umpire was horrible, the ball was clearly in. Hungarian player behaved incredibly bad, It's that simple. Don't make this thing geopolitical now. 

I mean, the number of posts I have seen online hating on Hungary regarding this incident made it quite clear that people wouldn't make such a big deal out of this if it was played in Western Europe. The video of the incident that went viral is also edited and don't show how much Zhang behaved irrationally. It's one thing to be angry at the umpire for a bad call and it's completely another to cause a scene and to halt the match for too long. Tóth was impatient and wanted to continue the match, she should have stayed out of the drama instead of making it worse. But it's also not "incredibly bad" from a young player to not know what to do when your opponent has a literal mental breakdown because of one bad call. Zhang should have never entered a WTA tournament in this state, the full video makes it obvious that she has some serious issues. If a player doesn't have the mental ability to move on from a bad umpire call and continue the match, they are not fit to enter a professional tournament.

I think the crowd would behave similarly if it was any other player from any other country, they just wanted their own representative to win :dunno: The behaviour was bad, true, however I really doubt this was fueled by some racism or geopolitical bias on large scale.

Toth is half-Thai which makes it even less probable to qualify as racist but most people probably don't even realize that. Either way, she's too low ranked to be anything but a ITF stalwart and those top players calling to ban her from the tour will probably never play her in their careers :lol:

 

Toth did come out and apologize after R2 loss but obviously the damage is done yet tennis tour will swiftly move on anyway.

 

Zhang Shuai should be out of Top 100 after USO since her form is truly dismal this season and this is the biggest news she made in 2023 :p

wow, I never thought I will find someone less likeable than Bouchard in womens tennis circuit. but here it is :lol:

Although I'm not a fan of her (Even as a Canadian), still think she gets way too much hate. Maybe I'm missing something, but unsportsmanlike conduct, being arrogant, and being more interested in fame than her tennis career are the main reasons why most people dislike her?  But Ostapenko is a brat, can't see how she would be ahead of Genie.

Vera Zvonareva has been denied entry and turned back at the Warsaw airport so she won't play the WTA 250 next week. Our Internal Affairs allegedly stepped in on the case.

    • Brilliant, we get something new to follow right after the Winter Olympics, and in such a great way too, with footbal.
    • It was mentioned on Reddit with people saying Dutch media have mentioned it. 
    • Unlikely because the BBC doesn’t earn extra money if something gets good ratings and budget was a big issue.    Also Birmingham 2022 didn’t do great in the ratings which I suspect influenced things as well.  
    • Biggest changes in the number of top 8 if compared to 2022.   Positive: +29 +28 +13 +12 +10 +10 +8 +8   Negative: -8 -6 -5 -5

    • There was a lot of good stuff with the BBC coverage - although some of the presenter did go a bit over the top, and the fillers that they used were pretty cringeworthy.    If there's one thing they need to figure out is how to show events like this without having the constant switching - from the channel to IPlayer and back to channel.  
    • I mean if we start talking about the impacts of sliding tracks, then the discussion needs to go to speed skating venues (btw, French Alps, don't you have fairground halls hanging round, I mean EVEN Italy could do that) and ski jumping hills for that matter as well.
    • Thanks everyone for their words. Situation has improved, at least in the last few hours.   Still, classes were suspended in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit, and most employers told office and service workers to remain home, with some of us doing home office.   No major casualties among civilians, but hard to tell as I said, federal government put a chokehold on major and local news and social media, in part to avoid major panic, in part to enforce their corrupt narrative in which they insist “everything is calm”.   Hard to believe when yesterday a 6 million people metro area, along many other localities and rural areas, emptied business, malls, restaurants and stop all activities for 15 hours or so just of pure fear of becoming another number of cartel and allies casualty list.    This morning you can hear some cars, and even people down the street again, compared to yesterday which had an eerie silence.    
    • So if 7-8 indoor sports go from Summer Olympics to Winter Olympics it's not wrong. However I don't want sports repeated.   Indoor sports will be played indoor whether in summer or winter.    Yes it might dilute the winter sports a bit, but then both games may get good revenue and can keep a larger global audience interested. I can't follow all the sports at summer games it's a lot but comparatively winter games have the space to add sports.    If I have to choose Indoor sports into winter games: - Judo - Taekwondo or Karate  - Handball - 3x3 Basketball  - TT or Badminton  - Squash - Volleyball - Chess   I think this would make the programme more balanced and will deliver blockbuster Olympics every 2 years   I know this might be an unpopular opinion here in the forum, which is fine.
    • It's weird to talk about attendance in %. Whats better 97% of a smaller stands or 90% of a bigger one?
