If we could only all live our lives with such class and decorum....

Q. Just one other question: yesterday, Rios made the comment about the women's game, that it was a joke, and that it wasn't tough. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about?

A. I'm not even going to comment on that. I'm not even going to give him an answer back on that.

veryborednow Monica probarly feels that that joker doesn`t deserve any attention from her!

 

[noukie]

go girl!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mateo Mathieu]

Good on you, girl! We loves you, Monica!

Simply because she has nothing, absolutely nothing to say. After everyone watched four "exciting" WTA matches yesterday, and that was R16 of Grand Slam for Christ sake..

I understand that there is a point in Rios comment, that women match do not heat up until quarterfinal, but one has to wonder why does he has to say that, what is his point? Instead of working togather with the women, he basically trash his own sport. Oh well...

GO MONICA.

Monica doesn't get into pissing matches with Non Top 40 players.

I bet Monica was a 4.0 student at the WTAtour school...

You go girl! Tell'm!

 

[Candy946]

ITS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T SINK TO HIS LEVEL.

BTW WHAT RANKED IS HE, HMMMM???

RIOS IS SO FULL OF IT

Cool response from Monica! But I was happy with Martina's and Venus' scathing replies too. I never could stand Rios.

 

[gentenaire]

Woohoo Monica!!

True, some of the women's matches we've seen these past few days haven't been very interesting. But what about those unwatchable men's matches then? Serve vs serve.
Venus was right when she said that in the women's game, they fight for every point. When watching a men's match and I see someone make a passing shot, I often think that had it been two women playing, the player would have tried to go for that shot and not just let it pass.
