Racquet and Ball abuse are such stupid offences, especially racquet like all you are doing is breaking YOUR racquet so why should the umpire care. :shrug:
Yeah, just like a billionaire can smash chandeliers in his mansion if he feels like it. Or a student can rip apart his own book in front of the teacher if he feels like it. Right.
She deserved it. Not to say that I didn't love it and think it was entertaining, but I really don't believe there is an argument that she shouldn't have gotten a penalty.
Well I suppose it is theirs. Like my books at school were always graffitied because they were mine and I liked to doodle, it did ruin the books but I did own them.
she hit it away - most likely out of the stadium - LOL
then she got the warning
it was 15-30 at this point
then she missed the next point, and then hit her raquet on the ground, as she walked to the bench to get a new raquet she got the 2nd warning for raquet abuse and since 2nd warning is point for opponent it was the game for Caro
after the umpire said it she totally smashed her raquet - just loved it
even I am a fan of her, I just feel she deserved it. Hey, you got a MP at 5-4*, many deuces to win it at 6-4, missed. 5-5 15-0 then a miss of a easy smash. Throwing a racket CANNOT solve everything.
she deserved it. That temper of hers needs to be fixed. I like that she has personality but when it costs her points like that, well damn it is frustrating.
