it was one thing for Victoria Azarenka to stretch the rules ヴィトン 公式
It was one thing for Victoria Azarenka to stretch the rules. It was another to be allowed to do it. The law should not be there in the first place. Injured? Got blisters? Tape, and suck, it up ルイビトン. Sore muscles? Cramping? Keep playing. Or quit.
Sloane Stephens extracted a laugh by saying of Azarenka's seven-minute disappearance at the denouement of their semi-final: "Oh my God, that sounds like a PP, which is a personal problem." Stephens could keep cracking gags all the way to the airport. Azarenka won. Nothing else matters at a grand slam. It's a catfight to top them all. 'Tis the beauty.
There are few more cold-blooded creatures on this Earth than female tennis players. Azarenka, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams speak about each other through gritted teeth. In person, they stick their noses in the air and walk on by. It has been suggested that Sharapova has not spoken a single word to her peers in, oh シャネル, about eight years. They would scratch each other's eyes out to win a major and when the 19-year-old Stephens reached the finals, she was walking into their world. Serena tried every trick in the book, too. It's no pyjama party.
Azarenka is less to blame for MedicalTimeoutGate, LockedRibGate and OhMyGodAPPGate than officialdom. If she was feigning injury, why did the doctor go along with it? Why did the umpire give the OK? Why did the tournament referee agree? If it was such a heinous crime ココシャネル, why were they complicit?
Azarenka left the court after complaining of rib, knee, back and breathing difficulties. The fact she was halfway through a choke of monumental proportions, of course, made the timing a little unfortunate. By a little unfortunate, we mean shocking. But you have to understand the process. Azarenka did not demand a seven-minute break. She is unable to. She asked for a medical assessment during the changeover. It was the medico who decided the injury was legitimate and required further attention. Only the doctor could make that call.
If Azarenka was bunging it on, sack the doctor for letting her get away with it. It was determined that a locked rib was impeding Azarenka's diaphragm, causing back pain and a shortage of breath. No-one other than Redfoo wanted Azarenka getting semi-naked on Rod Laver Arena, so they went behind closed doors to unlock the rib.
Of course, it came across as gamesmanship. Of course, having just blown five match points in a blaze of wild errors, shrieks and the kind of self-admonishment normally proceeding acts of hari-kari, it seemed the only medical assistance Azarenka really needed was the Heimlich manoeuvre.
But Azarenka broke no rules シャネル ピアス. Medical timeouts are taken advantage of every day at a slam. If this was Azarenka's last resort, well, so what? It's professional sport. It's on for young and old. Going to a towel after every point, is that not gamesmanship? Taking more than the allotted 20 second between points, is that not gamesmanship? Azarenka's shrieking while hitting the ball, which in all seriousness can be heard on the walk home up the Yarra, is gamesmanship, too. It masks the sound of the ball off her racquet, and it is an attempt to intimidate the foe.
Verbal confirmation of her heightened determination to club an opponent to death. But, again, she does it because the rules allow her to. If we want her to change, we need to change the rules of engagement.
The first law to be ripped up should be the medical time-outs because they disadvantage the physically and mentally super-fit. Sore muscles? Let 'em suffer. They should have trained harder. Aching shoulder? A player receiving an on-court massage is one of the most appalling sights in tennis. They have a 90-second break every second game. Hang on until then. It should be a no-holds-barred test of endurance. Last man and woman standing. The strong survive and the rest, as Andy Roddick said, can be taken out the back and shot in the head. If Azarenka pulled a swifty, she was allowed to. All she did was ask.
Novak Djokovic took the mickey out of her late on Thursday night エルメス スカーフ. Wearing a doctor's uniform, Djokovic pretended to assess Henri Leconte during a slapstick Legends' match. It really is a funny old world when Djokovic is taking the piss out of a player for taking too many timeouts. He used to be the biggest culprit. It was the last joke Djokovic makes for a few days because the real stuff is now upon us, as Azarenka showed, the dog-eat-dog matches that get the blood pumping. On Friday night Andy Murray throws himself out of his shoes against Roger Federer.
We watched every second we could of Murray at the majors last year. The man, to his credit, is nuts. At the French Open, plagued by rotten luck against Santiago Giraldo, he paced the back of the court like he was an aggrieved soul in a Monty Python movie. "Just laugh it off ポールスミス," he kept muttering. He had the most fantastically serious look on his face. "Just laugh it off prada. Always the best way. Just laugh it off." It was hilarious.
He swore like a trooper. Effing Idiot! Effing Hit It! Effing Move! He is grand entertainment, and a heck of a player. He will need to be グッチ 時計, because Federer has become some sort of psychological genius. Against the Australian Bernard Tomic プラダ バッグ, in moments of small triumph, he shouted, "Come on!". Against the very French Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, he screamed, "Allez!". Blatant attempts to get inside his opponent's head, in their own language just to be sure. Fantastic, no?
If only Rafael Nadal was here. If only, just once in his career, Federer expanded his multi-lingual vocabulary to a "Vamos!" Against Murray? We're unsure if Federer, having snuck through a first-set tiebreaker against the Scot, will bellow, "Och aye!" Or when when he's really fuelling his jets, "Och aye the noo broon coo!" Here's hoping.
