Lol at this garbage.
Her year isn't really better than Petra's tbh, and being in the right place at the right time at RG doesn't cut it. Getting overpowered and dominated by Cepelova, Mertens and now Svitolina Ok her year has been mostly very average. But "being in the right place at the right time at RG" is complete bs. She beat Serena in the final ffs. |

I won't be surprised if Sumyk is gone very soon.

winning a slam is not good enough a year

I just can't see her putting up with this form for much longer. And there's no real sign she will do anything coming up. She's just playing plain bad tennis most of the time.

You have to be pretty deluded to think her year isn't really better than Petra's. Petra literally picked up a bronze medal and that's it.

is there any measure by which you could say that

lol Christian Harrison defending Ryan on twitter after everyone criticised him yesterday
|
|
By:
No.
|
|
By:
Ryan seems a complete idiot from Twitter. In fact a number of American players are making themselves look like mugs on Twitter recently.
|
|
By:
yes, many of them are
|
|
By:
Tbh it's hard to openly support Trump and not come across a bit of a mug. You have to be pretty muggy to think Trump is the guy to be leading your country at pretty much any level surely.

I'm gonna assume he never took Mark Cuban's 10m to talk about his policies
|

By:
And aren't some of them defending the police recent actions.
|
|
By:
There's a massive inconsistency if you aren't anti-gun legislation but are making out the police need to be heavy handed because people could be armed.
|
|
By:
And I know guys like Isner make out anti-gun legislation wouldn't change anything.
|

Harrison was seething about BLM protests and rt'ed something and weeks ago was saying how what Kaepernick did was wrong too, so basically even though loads of the people lead with "they have the right to protest" etc they don't really mean it
|
|
By:
In fact I would hate to be in the police in general in the US, given you'd never know what you're getting yourself into when pursuing someone.

Wertheim seems to be going all out defending Maria. He's saying he thinks (and seems to think it will) her ban will get reduced to 1 year. Don't know if he has any inside basis for that though.
I'd be surprised if they cut that much off her bad. |
|
By:
they've gotta be thinking they have something after Lepchenko verdict even if diff circumstances
|
|
By:
Trump has zero substance, and you have to pretty deluded to think any of his policies he's blabbering about will lead to any good.
That and the fact he is a massive risk to world peace is enough reason to steer well clear. |

By:
do find it amazing that all those criticising Hillary for her foreign policy stuff think Trump will be nice and peaceful
 |

By:
Corbyn gonna win tomorrow, nothing's gonna change and muggy Corbynistas gonna be further entrenched in their views
|
|
By:
It depends. In theory I don't think it changes anything for her. Because Lepchenko has had she stopped before it was banned as accepted, Sharapova has admitted she was still taking it in competition. That would suggest it won't benefit her.
I don't really know how a CAS appeal even works, like they have giving their evidence (which btw their evidence had all been given before the Lepchenko thing was made public). I thought most of her defences were quite poor in her original case. I mean stuff like banning me for a long time hurts me more than other athletes, come on, that's just an awful defence. |

Thing is Hillary gets criticism for a lot of her campaign being in effect vote me because I'm not Trump. In most cases in an election that would have merit, of someone whose campaign is just criticising the opposition (I know I criticised Miliband for this) is a poor campaign. In this case I tend to think it's an exception that Trump would be so horrifically bad, that Hillary not being Trump alone is a good enough reason to vote her.
Like if you were in the US you would vote Hillary even if you don't agree with half of what she says just as a tactical vote to keep Trump out at all costs. |

Leavers, Trump and Corbyn supporters all very passionate about their cause
Remainers, Hillary and Smith campaigning on "at least we're not as bad as the above" |

By:
The other thing I really didn't get re:Sharapova is she effectively made her case sound like she was performance enhancing. I found the bit from her doctor about intake before matches, and increasing intake before matches of special importance plain bizarre how that was used. How did she (her lawyers) ever think this would get used as anything other than making her look terrible?
Without knowing anything about how CAS really works and the chances of a reduction I struggle to see her getting more than 6 months slashed, and I'm kind of expecting the decision to get upheld. |

There were a number of inconsistencies in general that just made her story not come across great PR wise. For starters you get a feeling there was some pure lies about her needing it for medical reasons when you read stuff like the above, and the fact she hadn't had it prescribed for years. She kind of seemed to contradict that part of her original press conference in evidence.
Secondly the stuff that got rejected by the ITF Tribunal too about Eisenbud not checking because he prints out the list and reads it on holiday, but didn't this year as he'd split with this wife. This just feels like why bother? Might as well just say nobody was checking. Just have your whole case on plain incompetence seems better than just making up bs. And there's definitely something not very believable here, because she's still very close with Eisenbud, if he was directly responsible for costing her what I assume will be well over $20m would she really still be close or even connected with Eisenbud? |

The funny thing will be when she comes back it comes very hard for to be presented as this super professional that she's always been presented as. As she's definitely going to have lost that aura of model professionalism when it comes to handling everything.

Some of the stuff Ryan Harrison is liking on Twitter is just idiocy.

yeah assume you saw this

Yer basically saying I am racist. And then when his brother goes for people attacking him saying he's allowed his views etc. If you're gonna have extremely offensive views then expect to get called out for it by people for what they are.
The he's allowed his views could otherwise be used to defend anyone. |

By:
freedom of speech innit
 the right to not be criticised for your words, or so some think  |
|
By:
You are never going to be allowed complete freedom of speech or freedom of anything, otherwise you can justify it for anything.

CH still going on, funny stuff
