OlympicsFan 782 Posted September 9, 2018 #453 Share Posted September 9, 2018 vor 4 Stunden schrieb Olympian1010: Disgusting like the attitude y’all are showing Serena. I don’t know if Compton is universally known or if racism and sexism are issues in foreign countries, but this forum has let me down today I think the only one showing racist behavior here is you. Serena just behaved in a very bad way, not criticizing an experienced player like her for her childish behavior ,just because of her skin color, would be much more racist than what you think is going on here. From a player of her age and someone who has to raise a child, you have to expect a more grown-up behavior. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,540 Posted September 9, 2018 #455 Share Posted September 9, 2018 By the way, I just realized one other incident got much less attention, which I think is strange because in that case I do think it's a matter of sexism: Cornet getting a code violation for changing her shirt on court (it was the wrong way around so she took it off, turned it around and put it back on. She was wearing a top, it's not like she was half naked all of a sudden), while men change their shirts all the time without any problem. Meaning they are saying it's ok for men to change their shirt in full sight, but not for women. Now that is unequal treatment that should be stopped. stefanbg, Quasit and Olympian1010 3 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

EselTheDonkey 657 Posted September 9, 2018 #459 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) The players get penalized, once the racket gets destroyed (not when it gets merely smacked hard). That happens pretty regularly, and they always get a penalty. The difference is, that most of them are clever enough not to do it when they already have a penalty and risk a second (and worse) one.

I just hope, but very much doubt, Serena Haase learned a lesson and will be a bit better in getting her emotions under control. No gonna happen. Remember the 2009 US Open? Boycotting Indian Wells for 10+ years because she got booed by the crowd? She hasn't learned her lessons at all and in fact it only gets worse now that she's no longer the ultimate WTA dominatrix.
