    I used to love watching the NZ womens comp over Xmas holidays on TV3 in the 00s - there'd always be a bunch of hot ones you don't normally see in the big comps as they go out in the early rounds.

      @rocky-rockbottom in my mind they just leaned over the net and pashed.

      Sick pervert. They only wear those outfits to feel good about themselves.

          A lot of the Russian female tennis players are easy on the eye. Best to watch the matches on mute though.

          Nah, the hotter they are, the more I like to hear them putting in an effort.

              @rocky-rockbottom Why doesn't he keep something cheap in his kitbag to smash - rather than his tennis racquets? Maybe a Nicholas Cage mask?

              Won't lose points for racquet abuse either.

              Could be worse - he could be Serena - going down 6-1, 6-0!

                Have always hated Serena.

                Feel justified now.

                Awful person. Being black and female has saved her over the years. Comeuppance due.

                  I've never seen a winner of a Grand Slam (their first) being embarrassed they won and having to apologise to a disrespectful crowd.

                    Disgraceful by Serena Williams. She's losing badly so takes the route that many players and teams do today in sports - blame the ref/umpire for the fact you're getting your arse kicked.

                    The Yankee media will come to her rescue and blame the umpire for her but it was embarrassing to watch the crowd boo the fact another player was merely more dominant on the day.

                        Osaka has a great story - her father moved them to the USA to be the next Williams sisters.

                          Aaand the coach has admitted he was coaching, so yes you got your way Serena: you lost when you cheated.

                          What a hirrible horrible person.

                            @antipodean got 29 seconds into that vid and remembered that my life doesn't need any more exposure to fuckwits these days.

                            I'm referring to booing the presenter in his introduction, that was enough. Greatest country in the free world my arse!

                              Disgusting behavior from Williams. She deserved the last 2 violations, first could ahve gone either way, but not a travesty.
                              As for sexism.. so stupid
                              Men get sanctioned far more than women. This Open men have had 23 code violations, women 9

                                That's disgusting. The poor girl should be celebrating and instead she's crying.

                                    Should have been the biggest day of Osaka’s life but that cow completely ruined it for her. Btw it is sexist according to stuff .

                                      @jegga Serena said something that implied they are always out to get her...whether that was around the sexism or even toward racism?
