Members Faulkner Posted December 6, 2018 Members Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wertheim has finally addressed the issue in his Mailbag column, and it’s BS all the way. He even cites the recent death of Justin’s father as a reason for his silence. https://www.si.com/tennis/2018/12/05/tennis-mailbag-simona-halep-darren-cahill-justin-gimelstob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 6, 2018 Members Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) He pretty much said nothing. He is afraid of Justin. The following if pure bull from Wertheim.... The ATP is discussing his fate as we speak. There’s no whitewashing here, no Claude Rains nothing-to-see-here. There is, rather, a willingness to consider the possibility of a defense; the possibility for nuance; a respect for due process. In this cultural moment, when the Internet demands swift justice, insta-outrage and immediate “takes,” maybe tennis is exercising some compassion and caution. We can—and do—denounce violence and homophobia and bullying and entitlement. There have been other tennis players who have not been shown compassion. I could name a lot but I won't. And has Wertheim forgotten the Anna K. story?? Edited December 6, 2018 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 11, 2018 Members Share Posted December 11, 2018 That was long overdue, tbh. Also, It's being said that Sloane and her coach have temporarily parted ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted December 12, 2018 Members Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) LOL, it kills me that we have to follow a British newspaper for a story on an American tennis figure, coach of the No. 1 American men’s tennis player and commentator on an American TV network, who was arrested on American soil, with American tennis players coming to his defense. Hilarious. However this shakes out, I’ve lost the remaining scrap of respect I had for tennis media.

Members ChitHappens Posted December 12, 2018 Members Share Posted December 12, 2018 @DramatistDreamer, why do you feel Venus and David splitting is good for a 38 year old player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 12, 2018 Members Share Posted December 12, 2018 Never ever cared for this bozo either. This is the same guy that chickened out of matches due to was it panic attacks? I didn't believe any of his stories when he would forfeit matches. He wasn't even at the actual confrontation.... The ATP council is full of Gimelstob trumpeters supporters...ridiculous....the council should only consist of retired tennis players and not current ones...John Isner being one is ridiculous....u know they aren't going to do anything to him and let him stay. This has become a joke. Losing respect for all of the tennis council....had this been anyone else this story would be front and center and the person would've already been banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
