Why the Media trying to push my Blackenese sister/Queen as only being Japanese

Because she claims Japan as the country she represents playing tennis.

The coaching should have been a warning not a violation and then the racquet crack after that should have been the violation if anything at all. Then a point for the berating but it wouldn't have gotten to that point if the coaching thing was just a warning. He was being too strict

I've run tournaments before and have been called down to the courts multiple times to make line calls and watch for behavior. If someone cracks a racquet after a game or a set and isn't a hindrance to the other player I'm just going to give a warning.
Technically they are all code violations.

Smashing a racket was a point deduction because of the existing warning and then losing a game was violation because of the 2nd warning.

Taken from the LTA...

"first Code Violation: warning (i.e. the Player will receive a verbal warning)
second Code Violation: point penalty (i.e. the Player will lose a point)
third Code Violation: game penalty (i.e. the Player will lose a game)"

Ok, by the book he was correct

But I just think he was a tad too strict either way. The coaching thing was a nothingburger

She tapped out while being ahead in a set . .


Some of yall are either dumb af or don't know tennis. Probably basketball fans use to seeing LeBron give up on the court
She wasn't ahead when she tapped out, (5-3) and she was down a set. Tapped out to me was when she started crying. Now get out of my mentions.

The coach admitted to coaching but also said "i dont think she was even looking at me" or something to that effect. On another note, can she chill with bringing up being a parent every other sentence


Don't gloss over the quote to make your point

I’m honest, I was coaching. I don’t think [Serena] looked at me, so that’s why she didn’t think I was (coaching). But I was, like 100 percent of the coaches on 100 percent of the matches. So we have to stop this hypocrite thing. “[Osaka’s coach] was coaching every point too.”

So there is an obvious bias which everyone knows but there's a couple people on here trying to play dumb
