Here's my list of true rear end sports facts: Djokovic is juicing Everyone is juicing Serena is a petulant child The Longhorns will be lucky to finish 3-9 Men's grand slams finals are a best of 5 scoring system. Djokovic doesn't need gluten due to the super soldier serum.

Good on the boffins in Spain for destroying all those blood samples so Djokovic's evil henchmen couldn't get hold of them and discover the secrets for his own doping regime.

It would be one thing if old people just kept winning, but it's a little different when they're dominate these long rallies that are a lot more common in tennis now where they run around forever and never get tired either in the point or in the match and keep getting better at it as they cross into their 30s.

Bardeh posted:Also, does anyone have any interesting articles on doping? Are the top players not tested a lot? It kinda registered as weird that Federer and Williams etc are still dominating well into their mid-30's, but doping is obviously never mentioned in mainstream tennis coverage. Serena called the cops on a drug tester that showed up at her house. https://nypost.com/2011/11/02/serena-williams-locks-herself-in-panic-room-in-drug-test-mix-up/

Without any serious rival (so long Stan), Djokovic is just going to blow through Federer's trophy count and be proclaimed the GOAT. Not happy with this and don't really know why.

quote:Former professional chair umpire Richard Ings has revealed the Portuguese official was paid the princely sum of $633 for taking charge of the Osaka-Williams encounter. https://www.news.com.au/sport/tenni...74dfc58b0f5ecb8 Seems worth all the trouble

I imagine he's going to get a hell of a lot more from the WTA given their statement today. ..

Even if you agree with the WTA and the double-standard assertion, I don’t understand why anyone would ultimately empathize with Serena here. Surely the solution is to penalize more men for abusing umpires, rather than to allow everyone to abuse umpires? Unless you enjoy watching unprofessional petulant tantrums because you somehow think it shows “fire” or “strength”. The umpires shouldn’t need to tolerate harassment at work.

If some jerk tennis star shouted at me whilst I'm working I would be unbelievably annoyed. Therefore, the chair ref is in the right.
