Makedonas 1,571 Posted September 20, 2021 #152 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Tsitsipas pulled out of Davis Cup last minute due to injury and is now facing backlash from Greek media/fans. He did however say he will get vaccinated by the end of the year, so maybe people will stop being so cruel on him. Him and Sakkari also got backlash for their Olympic outfits (which adidas gave them, people acted as if they made their own clothes) which did not have the Greek flag on it. Maybe people in Greece should look at how many players skipped the Olympics and how many players always skip Davis/Fed Cup and appreciate that our players actually care.

maestro 565 Posted September 20, 2021 #153 Share Posted September 20, 2021 1 hour ago, Makedonas said: Why the last? Because of some disagreements between the tournament organisers and WTA. What happened is not very clear but tournament director said they had decided not to continue before this year's tournament. It looks like tournament organisers didn't like that WTA rules were stricter than local rules and this didn't allow interaction between players and spectators. The tournament director said players weren't allowed to attend an anniversary event celebrating 25 years of the tournament. Or they aren't happy with the tournament moving to middle September from middle to end of October, when it usually took place.

Monzanator 3,593 Posted September 23, 2021 #156 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Back in Ostrava, the usual drama is on with Ostapenko. However Sakkari snitching to the ref was poor. Nouni said he didn't hear what Ostapenko said. Move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,571 Posted September 23, 2021 #157 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Weird, I didn't see that part of the match but saw the ending/handshake and it looked quite friendly. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,593 Posted September 24, 2021 #158 Share Posted September 24, 2021 First two QF in Ostrava are over so we have a vs semi-final. Swiatek vs Sakkari @Makedonas Makedonas and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,571 Posted September 24, 2021 #159 Share Posted September 24, 2021 And now Kvitova in the semifinals too. This is looking stronger than many slam semifinal lineups Sakkari could've made the top 10 if Kvitova and Bencic both lost today. Still a chance this week. But I like Kvitova and Bencic too. I think Maria will make the top 10 regardless, she is very close and has few points to defend while others have many points to defend over the next few weeks.
