So this is becoming a thing, stoked by the usual suspects: the RG press folk forced Dominic to leave the main press room in the middle of interviews (moving to a smaller room) because Serena wanted to take questions immediately after her loss. Of course, Serena has become the target of most of the ire. Tempest in a teapot caused by reporters who don’t find the actual tennis interesting enough to cover.

 

 

Just awful.....glad Thiem walked off and pretty much told them [!@#$%^&*] you......Serena is getting trashed and so is the organizers of the FO. And I am so glad. I'd love to see Thiem win it all and then not give them an interview after the tourney is over....

 

 

And do get me started on TC showing GM match over Thiem's. The disrespect from the tennis media for Thiem is just awful. They only cater to their pets. 

 

I noticed NBC didn't even mention the incident in its coverage today and I am sure TC will bypass it too. I am sure if Thiem had been the one who forced someone out....it would be news....

You are happy with Serena getting dragged even tho she was willing to take a smaller room but FO wanted her in a bigger room to acomoodate more reporters?  How is that Serena's fault?

Reports are that Serena said she wasn't going to wait. To which the organizers said ok and booted Thiem out of the press room to a smaller one to which Thiem felt that he was being treated like [!@#$%^&*] and walked out of the press room and gave no interview. Serena could've waited for the press room to be available but she didn't. 

And what's this love the tennis media have over Monfils?  Has he accomplished something on clay to deserve this love? Has he beaten Nadal on clay??

Again, I ask...how is that Serena's fault?  

 

And [!@#$%^&*] Thiem being upset.  Not as many reporters want to talk to him so he has to move.  FO should have canceled Serena if she didn't want to wait but they chose not to.  It's not her fault that they chose a legend with 23 slams over someone who has none!

And you're acting like every tennis media outlet .....[!@#$%^&*] everyone else its Serena.....glad she is once again getting trashed. And I hope she retires soon....she looks slow as hell.....glad she lost. She is a sore loser.

Read above.  Facts!  I hope it helps.  

Rothenberg stirring up shít per usual. I made the mistake of giving that nonsense oxygen.

Folks with an agenda have no challenges with Rothenberg and his ilk lying or twisting the truth for clicks.  Too bad there are so many Serena haters willing to go for anything.  

 

And as hated as she....Mary Carillo is the best damn tennis broadcaster. John McEnroe and Paul Annacone are clueless. As @Faulkner mentioned the only reason Paul has been successful in coaching is because of who he has coached. Give him an average robotic American and he isn't much of a coach. 

Wawrinka and Tsitsipas are playing some damn good tennis!  Stef is a little punk but it's incredible to watch him play.  He should have gotten a point penalty (but that's reserved for Serena).  

I don’t have TC at home anymore, so I can’t watch.

 

If any good came out of yesterday’s silliness, it’s the memes. 

 

 

It's a really good match.  Best of the tourny, IMHO.  I'm going to be getting rid of cable next week so I will have no TC either  

 

Stan up 2 sets to 1.  

NBC’s tiny little coverage window makes me wonder why they bother.

 

Stan and Stef are going to pummel each other. Meanwhile, their next opponent Rog has barely broken a sweat.

 

Stefanos is absolutely caked in dirt.

 

I get that tennis scheduling isn’t an exact science, but RG should have anticipated that Kei and Benoit wouldn’t finish today.

 

Stefanos and these BPs.

Oy. Stefanos. Can’t go out like this.

 

The Stefanos forehand really collapsed in those last few games. Incredible last point from Stan.

 

Wawrinka has beaten Fed on clay a few times, including his 2015 title run, but not sure how much this marathon match will linger on his body.
