Serena Williams - cheat or not?

[robbo1]

Anyone else see the Serena/Hantuchova match last night?
OK, she may have been injured, but I thought the "toilet break" tactics were a disgrace. Funny how she only needed to go before a Hantuchova service game....

Gamesmanship not sportsmanship sadly. I seem to remember similar tactics being employed by Serena Williams in previous years.

It's just not cricket (or tennis).

She should be playing in the mens tournament anyway.

How very sexist of you.




































The Men should be given a chance, by way of excluding Ms Williams to the Ladies' Championship

I reckon the Williams brothers play OK

So you know the answer but asked anyway?

Just wanted to see if there were any sports boffs like yourself that could have the answer Callyman.
Remind me what sport you participate in again?

There seems to be lots of "unnecessary" noise in Martial Arts - this could back up the idea it releases more adrenaline.
