The Compton jumped out.
I just saw this on tv
Queen not having it
Eek! Looking at the score. Hope Queen pulls thru
It sucks that these white ppl own and control the sporting industry.
Can?t even tell her to boycott the mess

She?s so classy. Giving a bey at the vmaz after the kanye mess. A real Virgo tea.
I would?ve cursed everybody and they dead granny out.
It was bullshit. She was given a GAME penalty for verbal abuse. A game penalty. Not a point a game. They took an entire game from her.
Male players have said much worse and nothing happened.
I'm livid
That was complete bullshit.
She is a class act for trying her best to not ruin the win for her opponent. I. Felt so bad for the girl she was sad she beat her idol
And can someone explain to me Serena?s eye brows are they natural?
They really fucking tried her
I'm only now wrapping my head around it. I honestly had to go and get drunk after that. Not sure I can bring myself to watch this sport anymore. I love Serena with all my heart, and I want Carlos Ramos DEAD. I'm praying hard for it. But honestly, Serena had a part in this. She was absolutely shit most of this match. I'm just done with tennis. This broke me.
People said the officiating was pretty fucking awful
I?m not a tennis person but even Andy Roddick said as much just now on twitter
I?ve been done. Serena has power tho. The ratings are always shit when she doesn?t play. I know it?s not a sports mentality. But I?d say fuck it and only do the olympics.

She was definitely out-played in the first set. Naomi was on FIRE. That game penalty is what completely fucked her. She could have won the 2nd set. And honestly.....I really think she would have!
Not only was Serena robbed, but Naomi was too. Fuck the US Open. They don't deserve her.
This was hard to watch.
Let me also say that I'm tired of queen steamrolling through both weeks only to make it to the final and act like she's never played tennis in her life.
:overit:
and Patrick is dumb as hell, cameras ALL AROUND and he's throwing up signs and shit. Like HELLO? THEY CAN SEE YOU.
Sucks that Serena was penalized for something her coach did.

aww naomi :'(
I honestly can't think of a nicer person.
Her coach admitted to coaching.

And that's fine and all, but Serena wasn't even looking at him :uhh: if a player requests or hints for coaching and gets it....then yeah. Penalize them. This was all Patrick's fault and Serena should not have been disciplined for his poor actions.
ALL THE FUCKING COACHES GESTURE AT THEIR PLAYERS. Fucking ALL. That was Serena's point. Why single her out? She's already the most tested player in the history of the sport, although she has never failed a drug test. Everyone has a breaking point. I understand her frustration. She should have handled it better, but I still understand her frustration. Fuck Ramos. Fuck tennis. Fuck the USTA.
COME THRU
I love this woman
No one gets to this level without being ?hotheaded? at some point. That should absolutely be allowed at this stage and THEN some. Especially in a fucking final
n
Is she to conduct herself as if she?s out having a spot of tea?
That has never happened in the sport, ever. Everyone knows that Serena and Venus are two of the most ethical tennis players on the tour. She wasn?t looking at Patrick. The umpire was just mad that she wouldn?t let go of that thin, greasy wig...and she had every right to go in.

No. But she was fully aware of what COULD happen. Tennis has always been a white, elite, snobbish sport. She knows that her and Venus were always targets. She gave them EXACTLY what they wanted. Richard drilled mental toughness into them because of that very fact. He tried to make them unbreakable. She's cracking though, and it breaks my heart to see.
I don?t see it as ?cracking?. She?s not a robot. She?s going to have a very strong opinion when she?s accused of something she didn?t do. She stood up for herself just like Richard taught her.

What the fuck is handling it better?
Smiling and giggling and saying oh that's fine heehee :caramelapple:
Yawl said the compton came out but she articulated herself while asserting herself pretty well

Don't. Fucking. Address. Me.
And I'm not saying Serena was at fault or Carlos Ramos was right in what he did. Far from it. But what good does having a meltdown on the court do? She's a big enough name to have the issue handled. She had a legitimate grievance. Just like how they introduced Hawkeye after that horrible call by Mariana Alves. She has that sort of POWER. Maybe it's my disappointment at her not winning blinding me, but I just contend that an on-court meltdown didn't really do any good.

Honestly I think because Serena has always been about playing fair and speaking out against cheating (even more so since the Sharapova thing :plzstop:) I think to be accused of something like that....in front of everyone was probably really embarrassing and the last straw for her.
She had every right to be upset. And we can talk all day about how she should or shouldn't have handled it but what's done is done.
and why did Patrick even give that interview after the match....that man can never keep his mouth shut.
He straight up said
yea I was coaching :caramelapple:
fsdddddddddddddddddddddd
which completely contradicts what Serena had said. He should have just declined all questions and left with the rest of her team. It just made things worse.
He needs to be fired. Fuck him.
I?m glad I got a proffesion where they know better than to fuck with me and if they try I?ll just pump on over to the competition or sue the roof off their heads. :cheerup:
I can?t imagine having to deal with the bs Serena has to constantly deal with after putting in over 20 years. Wtf.
