Lol, French Open tournament director wouldn’t even let her play qualifying matches let alone main draw matchesLove her or hate her, there is not a tournament director on this planet that will force Maria Sharapova to play qualies.
Grow up, people.
He was making a statement on doping (good for him).Lol, French Open tournament director wouldn’t even let her play qualifying matches let alone main draw matches
this is probably true (even if she's currently #132 without Meldonium but not playing a full year)Now that the doping saga has come and gone, it is clear Sharapova is one of the top 104 players in the world when not injured.
yes but without Meldonium, you don't know if she'd winShe is a former champion.
Here you're right again, she'll probably get a WC (again), even if not fully deserved :wink2:It would not be a scandal if AO gives her a WC.

I wouldn't have any ethical expectations. The AO rolled out the fairly ugly red carpet in 2018 and asked Pova to do the draw ceremony in Serena's absence and they put her on Rod Laver Arena.It would be extremely disappointing. We know the US Open has absolutely no ethic, but I expect more from the Aussies.
Is Craig still the TD? If so, Federer. She will get that WC.It would be extremely disappointing. We know the US Open has absolutely no ethic, but I expect more from the Aussies.
I forgot about that. It seems only the English and the French have some morals. Too bad, I thought you guys were more close to the British than to the Yankees.I wouldn't have any ethical expectations.

I question how popular she actually is at this stage in her career. I was at the Woz vs Pova match this year and there was clearly more support for Woz and some people in the crowd applauded Pova's faults. (I swear it wasn't meh
Then there was the booing at the Barty match after that bathroom break. She still has some support but how many people are showing up expecting a train wreck.
It doesn't reflect the moral values of Australians at large - just that of Craig Tiley and his ilk. I personally found the whole thing very distasteful.I forgot about that.

Oh, sorry if I offended you, didn't mean for literally everyone. But yeah, that was really disappointing.It doesn't reflect the moral values of Australians at large - just that of Craig Tiley and his ilk. I personally found the whole thing very distasteful.
