0% Sportsmanship in Tennis History (WTA Drama) 

Omgggggg!! Venus I love u!!!! 💛💛💛

Venus has always had a great sportmanship 😍

Queeeeen 😘

@@Sabinelisickifansss CONGRATS BESTIEE!

Venus is only woman tennis player who has grace.

I was thinking about this recently- you're so right! Too many bad calls are made on these double bounces.

@@charlesstarkman8755 I agree. Also instant replay should be used on serves too. Too many bad calls are made on serves too.

especially when players say I don't know if I made it. Bitch, if you know tennis, and play, especially at professional level, you know if you made it or not. That shit of "I don't know" is bullshit.

Agree, cos its really hard to judge in real time. I was convinced that Swiatek had got to one of those ok, then slowed the slow-mo down to 0.25 speed and then it was clear and obvious that she hadn't.

i can't find the rule anywhere, but i'd be surprised if they don't allow challenges on this by now. the modern hawkeye system tracks the ball in 3D space in something like 1 millisecond incriments so it'd be easy to track where it bounces.

LMAO she has no filter

You mad she's won more than your bum ass?

@@lilnickydabaddest3451 Yeah, because she's dumb as a bag of potatoes

She’s a disgrace

Oh what she lost? Tennis players never lose now, do they? 🤡

If that is how u win important points…

Wow, didn't know Iga pulled this stunt so many times! Really disappointing from her.

Why do you think it's wrong? Is there a rule that says what moves you can make?

@@ArthurVerhulst Kirilenco was penalized for doing one of the things Swiatek did. 1:10. It's called interference. Either way, it shows lack of class. Hoping she becomes more mature with age.

@@elektr1x313 she did it 4 times in her career and never won a point with it

This channel has turned her into a legendary GOAT cry baby. Afterall, Ostapenko hit the ballboy with her racquet 😂

she really is a despicable whiny snitch

I miss her 😞

@@matthewmcalister2165 cuck

I’ve never heard of her

I agree. I can't remember if the ball bounces off your body and over the net if it's still playable, but I knew when I charged the net I could be hit with a return volley. Part of the game.

@@zackmccormick5845it's not playable if it comes off your body

Is hitting it into your opponent illegal? If not its a great play.

Anyone here remember Ivan Lendl? He'd hit the ball at opponents if they got in the way and didn't apologize for it.

​@@daBEAGLE1017No it is not illegal to my knowledge. It happens fairly often and it's always a point won by the player who hit the ball.

If you hit a ball boy/girl in the face it's a default. The umpire was wrong in calling it just a warning.

@@swiftrealm It's the fact that the other team rushed to the umpire and asked for disqualification that is unsportsmanlike. Everyone knows that the backhand wasn't hit hard and without malicious intent. Had the ball girl paid attention, she would have caught it easily. Bouzkova/Sorribes even claimed there was blood, which was a lie.

​@@swiftrealm it wasn't in the face, it was literally a pass and she didn't pay attention

For sure. They pushed the umpire for disqualification and they were laughing. So disgusting. I thought they were nice people....

​@@akiratheastronaut The rules are what matter, and the umpire got it wrong initially and corrected it after looking at the situation more carefully.

Thats Kerber- but some pe

me too :D :D

Exactly ! If "they played great" then how did I won ? The problem is that the world wants you to show sympathy or feel for the loser even if it is totally fake. If you don't do that you are an arrogant person, you lack sportsmanship ! And that's is reason she is in this video compilation. One more I don't really like "I never thought I would win" ! Yeah, then wtf were you playing for?

Same here! Those fake humility and sportsmanship is annoying.

But then you are just being rude and arrogant. Think about how your opponent would feel?

@@secrets.295 "How your opponent feel" or "what others would say" etc. is the things due to which we are forced to say a lie. Humans say or do lots of things which we never wanted to do but are forced to fit in the socities we live. After a match at the time of handshake one can simply say "thanks for playing" and if you enjoyed it add that too. And if you didn't enjoyed then you need to be really gutsy to say it on the face ! But there is no need to say anything if you didn't enjoyed. "Thanks for playing" is good enough. And of course if you genuinely feel your opponent played well and you want to them, then go ahead. Most of the time it said just for the sake of saying, to fit in. Personally I will say there is no need to glorify your win either. But humans are complex creatures, hypocrisy rules us because we want to fit in, accepted by the society. Just my thoughts, people are free to agree or disagree.

I’ve played womens and now mens and I completely agree! Even way back at middle/high school level it was like “whoah” 😅

women.

your talking about junior tennis, their just having fun and their still getting warmed up. no need to compare girls and boys

@@epicnora Guys didn't warm each other up that way, trying to smash every ball into the corner. Not even juniors. If anything, you wanted to see how the other guy hit the ball, get a feel for his strokes and how the ball came off his racket and how it came off the court A lot of the time in juniors, the courts varied widely. You might start the tournament on really fast courts, but if you advanced, you'd be playing on much slower courts. Or vice versa. Plus, you want to loosen up your legs, arms and shoulders, everything. Just whacking the ball viciously doesn't help you do that.

Womens bro ur fr ​@@finmiles965

You are so soft

Here come the Polish/feminists/Ukrainian apologists/Agenda 2030 promoters to defend their golden girl 1GA...

Why? Perfectly normal!

@@danutakanczuga3805 Swiatek is so obnoxious that I cant stand her, especially brining that flag of UA on her hat. Why drag politics into tennis? I was so glad when she got wopped by rybakina.

Waaa....Waaaa......Waaaa.......She looked at me funny and "Hindered" me.

Literally so iconic. The match, the interviews, the losing streak afterwards. Historical.

@@rolinti9146 and the way muguruza win the next slam right away after failed to defend her RG title. It went downhill for Mlad tho.

maldenovic got cursed by muguruza lmao. she struggling to win matches for years.

@@plantahari and then she was the one who faced 0 respect

How many GS has Mladenovic under her belt ? O - ZERO which is also what she deserves

I think a lot of them were pretty unclear. Tennis, like golf, seems to have to higher level of decorum than other sports.

lol exactly what i was thinking, literally I couldnt figure out why a single thing was "unsportsmanlike" until the fake handshake at around 1 minute in. The intense music kinda makes it funny too.

Let me break this down for ya : 0:08: not proper handshake. Handshake is part of one of the most famous norms in tennis 0:15-0:50: purposely agitating arms , legs as well as hitting the racket on the ground at some point to distract her opponents, in an attempt to make her lose the point (which worked @ 0:15). 0:51: purposely hard hitting the ball ON the opponent, which can seriously hurt 1:00: no handshake 1:11: purposely hitting the racket firmly on the ground mutliple time to distract her opponents, in an attempt to make her lose the point. Then argue with the umpire because she gave her a warning which could result in a disqualification (aka losing the match) if she does it a second time 1:25: The girl in pink and white (yastermska) withdrews from the match (meaning she decided to stop playing because she was allegedly injured) right when she was going to lose. Her opponent only needed to win 2 more points to win the match. When you withdraw your opponent still wins the match. However, here people said that the girl who withdrew didn't want to swallow her pride and lose with dignity. The girl in red is infamously considered by many “an easy opponent “ since she won a major but hasn’t been able to reproduce the same success since. 1:36: The same girl, this time in yellow, withdrew from the match right when she was going to lose. Her opponent needed to win one more game to win the match. The girl who won was kicking her butt tbh. Again, the girl who won (Brengle) is also considered as an "easy opponent" by many tennis fans. 1:44: This was a warm-up. They had to interrupt the match before starting back I assume. Warming up with your opponent before the match is traditionally considered as a noncompetitive portion of the match in tennis, that is supposed to be kind of friendly. The girl in red skirt wasn't giving any effort, which screams" I don't wanna be here, I don't care about yall" 2:05 ; black girl (stephens) hit the ball on the opponent. The opponent (Azarenka) didn't appreciate that so she did the same thing purposely 2:17 : girl in pink (Ostapenko) purposely agitates her legs to distract her opponents, in an attempt to make her lose the point (which worked) 2:34 : The girl in green (Mladenovic) purposely turns the crowd against her opponent to make her lose focus. This tournament is in France and Mladenovic is French. She was asking the crowd to make noise almost every single time her opponent was making mistakes. 3:05: u know why ;) 3:12: u know why ...a lot of ppl found her comment arrogant 3:21 : The girl in white and red (ZHANG) purposely made a weird noise (according to her opponent, the bond girl , Wozniacki) before hitting the ball to distract her opponents, in an attempt to make her lose the point.Wozniacki mimicked her while complaining to the umpire, which was considered as immature by many 3:45 : The girl in a dark dress (Siegemund) was clearly losing the set. In tennis when the ball is approaching the net, if the ball bounces on the ground more than once the point goes to the opponent (it's called "not up"). The umpire said that she didn't see that. Which made the opponent upset, lose her focus, and the match... 4:11+4:22+ 7:25, 5:17 + 5:32 +8:45 :10:22: u know why 4:19 : not proper handshake , which I disagree 4:39+ 5:45 + 6:17: same as 3:35, double bounce 6:45 : very hostile match, the crowd was rooting more for the Belgian player (Henin in white). She raised her hand while Serena was serving, Serena complained because according to her, it was an attempt to distract her ..and the umpire said that he didn't see that. 7:40 : The umpire gave Serena a warning because he was accusing her of cheating. In tennis, coaches aren't allowed to coach during a match otherwise u expose yourself to disqualification. The umpire said that the thumb up, with the hands moving forward, counted as coaching...this is when Serena basically had a temper tantrum. 8:05 : The girl in yellow (Azarenka) took a medical time-out and a LONG bathroom break right after her opponent made her lose a match point. This was viewed by many as an attempt to break her opponent's momentum and make her lose focus (which worked) . Having a player still winning a match even if she's very close of losing a match (the opponent having a match point) is common in women's tennis. 9:18 : she called her the b. word 9:30 : in tennis when you hit the ball outside the vertical lines on the side it's "out", meaning the point goes to the opponent. The umpire said it was "out" , but Serena and the commentators said it was "in" right on the line. you can judge by yourself.. 10:38: In tennis, when a line judge ( ones who yell "fault" when a ball is out), BUT the player challenges the point (meaning the player asks the umpire to show the point on camera) and it's "in" or the umpire simply judges that's "in", and both of the players continue to play, the point doesn't count and is simply replayed. In this case, the umpire gave the point to the opponent, even if the line judge said "fault" , but the camera clearly showed that it was "in" .. and the opponent said it was "her point" even though the point should not have counted. Here it was considered "in " because the ball went right on the baseline (horizontal lines near the players). If it was outside the baseline then it would have been "out" as the line judge claimed. Same at 11:33, the only difference is that , it's the umpire herself who said it was "in" instead of the camera. hope this helped lol

@@chay2033 What the f**k is the "b. word "? 🤔🤔

Naw it should be an individual's choice to shake hands or not. It is ok to not like someone or feel like the game wasn't fairly played and express it.

@@maekklyn His point is that the non-shaking hands was the most unsportsmanlike thing...not much to see in the video

Jennifer Capriati is sexy, but without any brain. Her sportsmanship is minus 1 billion if not even lower than that.

Capriati knew full well that she was given a lot of calls and that she only won the match because Serena was cheated out of it.

Fun fact, Serena lost that game LMAO

@@kole1212 Fun fact, Capriati's career was finished after that match LMAO

@@mrrogers302 "Karma is a bi*ch" at it's best

Yeah I agree that was bad form. She's good enough to beat opponents without doing that. At least she's letting her tennis speak for itself at the moment. People on here act like she does that all the time. If she did, I think it'd get mentioned!

Tbh I just think it gives her an edge she's not physically imposing like some of these players think she thinks it's a good way of imposing herself on the opposition

I will say it's sometimes hard for the umpires but as a player you always know. So every player in this video that took advantage of it they should be very ashamed

@@TheMitchie21 ur right ur allowed to secede the point as the opposing player. Alcaraz did it twice. Respect to him

@@TheMitchie21 That’s your opinion and that’s fair - I disagree, I’ve had points where I was ADAMANT it wasn’t.. only to look back at a recording and realise it clearly was.

I think double bounce the umpire should che k with Hawkeye. In cricket in run outs the decision goes to an umpire who can see the video slowly..no reason why that shouldn't happen in tennis..

@Crazycat Petera that's nonsense. It feels completely different if you hit the ball before the bounce or after it. Only in very rare cases when you hit the ball just as it touches the court, it's not 100% obvious to the player.

Same i thought it was just footwork and small adjustments at the net

it was on purpose definitely

@@unknownentiti2351 It is definitely hinderance. I can’t believe she’s getting away with it so much. Pam Shriver called her out on it and says that it should definitely be called out.

@@jobuck879 stomping hard when running forward and having to stop isnt a hindrance at all

@@robinsoncruise2228 Frantically waving your arms while doing it is. Nobody is saying anything about her footwork. Don’t try to defend cheating.

The best🤭🤭

As many times as Serena has just DRIVED the ball at opponents I don't feel bad.

You joking or dumb? You exactly know whether the ball double bounced or not. You don't look at the other side of the court when hitting the ball. Maybe you do. Not the pros. Maybe that's why you made such a silly comment and don;t know better. Even if they took their eyes off the ball, you'd exactly know single or double bounce by watching the way the ball flies.

Mladenovic isn't in the clip at 4.20

@@shaktincredible 100% correct

If a player retires, is it still considered a victory by the opponent in the books?

@@kebrongurara1612 yeah but it's still dishonorable to just quit. i believe there are real penalties for it if it can be proven. like suspensions and fines.

I know it's annoying to players but what is she supposed to do? Not prepare for the return? 😅 Or change her shoes?

i love ostapenko but she needs to cut that shit out

She must learnt that from carpriati

i don't think she's one to say the opponent was better than her when she losses

@@deusexmachina9776 that's not the point 😂

she totally smirked, mate. she's a villain.

In context it's worse. She went from being up a double break to needing a tiebreak to win. She was asked if she was nervous as Marino was coming back and her response was no she was clearly much better than her opponent.

@@tbwatch88 i laughef out loud at you calling her a villan

It's ATP, baby!

depends if they went out of their way to do it or not, if they did it to make a good play its fair game.

Yup. My net play drills were getting balls hit at you. It's going to happen if you play net. They drill you. You drill them.

I agree with mrrogers. Hitting the ball at someone is a strategic move, making it hard for the opponent get in good position for a return.

It's gamesmanship, sportsmanship isn't the rules

specially in boxing

Tbh it should have been a racket abuse. Hitting grass court like that will damage the court (would have been fined in wimbledon)

It feels totally different if you don't make it. Ball is heavier if you get there, it feels a lot lighter if you don't.

Yeah, that svatek clay one in particular. I still couldn’t tell until the last angle

Player always knows.

As a player u know exacty when a ball double bounced with the top spin. or u probably never toutched a racket in your life and u"re here talking crap about things u dont know

U dont need to see the ball double bouncing, u just need to watch the trajectory of the return to figure out the double bounce. Swiatk 100% knew @@cheefussmith9380

One hit with is allowed for balance

It’s not waving arms It’s just ONE MOVE - to keep balance after the approach the net

You can see clearly that Patrick was watching Serena and kept making the hand gestures, while looking all the time, until he nodded, which can only be explained that they had eye contact and his message was received.

Accusing her of cheating is WILD and she definitely needed to stand up for herself then. There is a line to be drawn, you don't have to like everyone but accusing of serious things is too far. That's why she got passionate.

@@gladitsnotmeYUP that umpire was always out to get her too

Agreed! And to me, the clip where Serena did this, and the ball came back via a body-part and not via the racket and the umpire not seeing it, is then the risk You take, and quite funny.

Sharapova even raised her hand to apologize afterwards, just as Serena muttered "b!tch"...

Henin was signaling that she wasn't ready. But then when the serve was called out, she didn't own up to it. The chair umpire was too gutless to acknowledge that. That's why it is poor sportsmanship on the part of Henin.

Haters base always grows faster tan fanbase. Human nature.

Swiatek is a fine player and a blatant cheat. The record shows that both aspects are true.

@@Tyronepeader What record? Any proof? She isn't a "fine player", she is brilliant.

@@Tyronepeader how do you cheat in tennis other than steroids? XD

@@patryyyk6653 Swiatek has raised and extended her arms repeatedly whilst moving towards the net to distract opponents when they are hitting a stroke, as the video clearly demonstrates. Sorry to all the fanatics who wish to pretend otherwise.

Yeah but some players did that intentionally though

@@hououinkyouma1301 and you can prove that how? also, why is shuffling your feet bad??

Agree. I've played a lot at the net for 30+ years and love to do that. Players always seem to try to do that and I know it's coming. It is my job to win the point when they bring it. Always fun - win or lose.

Ik. Literally one of the first tactics I learned as a junior was that when ur opponent is at net, if u beam the ball to their dominant hip flexor it is a very effective shot with high margin.

Ya I thought the whole idea was to just make it as hard as possible to return the ball. Hitting it hard straight at them that close will be probably work more often than not.

That was umpire's fault.

@@Raj...01234 Bencic actually knew it wasn't her point, but she still acted as if she hadn't known anything

@@_oangKhoi yeah kinda bad sportsmanship from Belinda, but the umpire was literally trash.

Yes, but they should still be able to tell if it's hit the ground or not. I've seen umpteen players admit to the umpire that it's double bounced.

Touring professionals always know.

I rarely watch her games. She has quite a history of unsportsmanship conduct, and she is only 21.

From a guys standpoint, i can sprint from one corner of the court to the net in seconds, i can understand the feet stomping, its the proper way to slow down, sliding is not.

@@techdiyer5290 Did you watch the video. There is a lot more there than just stomping your feet intentionally, not as "the proper way to slow down." For now, Iga is not a class act.

@@sorellman BS

@@sorellman i wish the umpires had the balls to penalize her. they're always terrified of making controversial calls. that's why they never call close double bounces or reaching over the net.

It definitely wasnt intentional and it actually bounced off srebotniks racket first

@@justinjerrylee1659 she went straight at her

if you want to try and pressure the net after a terrible shot that's your problem

It should be allowed. Dodgeball all the way.

@@brucee6123 In pro tennis, it is actually a totally fair play to go directly at your opponent's body as long as the ball trajectory will keep it in play. For example, when you serve, your choices are: up the middle, out wide, or into your opponent's body. A tennis player has these same choices when trying to pass their opponent who may be at the net (an ideal target, I believe, is a right-hander's right hip when they're at the net, left hip for left-handers). Even the pristine, upstanding, and highly respected Chris Evert would occasionally employ this tactic. Watch a clip of Evert's amazing comeback vs Laura Golarsa in the QF of her final Wimbledon in 1989 (when 2-5 down in the 3rd set), and you will see that Evert went right at Golarsa on match point (who was at the net), and it didn't bother Golarsa because she knew it was a fair play.

@@Empy003 I was writing about the match with Clijsters (semifinal?) at 2009 US Open, when she got a foot fault on the match point for the Belgian. Even if the line umpire was not right there (I don`t know if she was or not) Serena is definitely not allowed to brandish her racket as a weapon in front of the someone`s eyes or say "shove (the ball) down your fucking throat"
