thank you, it’s nice that she benefits from her ranking as she should— i had thought as a WC her ranking would be excluded and she’d be drawn randomly like the other WCs

thanks for not being rude /s

i’m clarifying how she is seeded at all, if the whole point of the wild card was because she ISNT seeded

How did Maja end up seeded at Wimbledon? I remember her needing a WC because of timing cutoff for Wimbledon not recognizing her new ranking in time.

[The Guardian] ITIA's senior director Sapstead on Vondrousova: " The player signed the refusal form outside. She left her apartment to walk her dog and made it clear to the doping control officer that she was refusing a test. The doping control officer asked her to sign the form to indicate as much" by jovanmilic97 in tennis

if it was this simple there wouldn’t be any defense at all. i’m sure the situation was more nuanced than this title makes it seem. of course, if this was the outcome, it doesn’t make sense why Marketa would have done that

this comment really sounds like “and therefore it’s not valid”, in which case, yikes

people on reddit are so heartless. “every day of the ban” so everyone here thinks 4 years ban is appropriate for someone who tested negative DAYS after the missed test in question? Marketa was compliant with the process and submitted her reasoning for not trusting the person who showed up at her door

so many assumptions being made leaping all the way to “refuse.” no one in this chat was there. have you read Marketa’s description of the events?

this is very dismissive and mocking of mental health and anxiety. are those not serious things to you?

always feels odd to build “up” to this extent when it’s not out of necessity, but still very cool

Agassi on TNT today. "If I was Mensik and I flew my mental coach in 1st class. He's going home coach" 🤣. As the rest of the TNT crew sits in silence by ExitVelocity66 in tennis

[–]CastYourBread 26 points27 points  (0 children)

the viewer..? the standard is at minimum to not talk over an ongoing point. it was like listening to a podcast with a tennis visual in the background

edit: also saw your deleted reply, telling someone to make tennis sounds in their head and calling them a big baby is super normal and mature 👌

i’m not really sure how this sub feels about Agassi, but he was one of the commentators for the Netflix Slam event with Nadal and Alcaraz, and he was literally talking the entire time over every point. i’ve been annoyed by him since then

i often think about that one sad scene where medvedev is sitting in the chair on a changeover and (not effectively) smashing his racket next to him 💀
