even Stevie Wonder can see that WTA gives pova easy rides time and time again

Show us some stats or previous draws for the last couple of years which can back up your statement instead of presenting a load of lose crap

Stacy McAllister was Larry Scott s VP so obviously it was a consensus to focus on pova at the expense of the other players.

How so obvious? Maybe for your twisted mind. What possible motive can the WTA and tournament officials have to favor Maria Sharapova?

Mattek at some point complained that the tour should embrace all players not just pova.:rolleyes:

Why not link to an article which quotes Mattek-Sands so we can read in which context she said it? As far as I can see you're just spreading lies with no facts. You haven't even explained how a draw can be manipulated to favor a player.
A draw is a public procedure done by both WTA and tournament officials with player representatives present and they're often participating in the draw which is performed after strict rules. The press is watching while the draw is done
So instead of these insane and unfounded accusations and conspiracy theories why don't you present some facts for once?

Great response! Thanks for taking the time to provide the video evidence. Sadly, I suspect it won't work on tossip. (Was "tossip" a typo? Was it really supposed to be "gossip"? The "g" and "t" keys are very close together.)

Azarenka is tough but we never hear about the hype....Maria gets away with easy draws..if she is that tough why do they always give her easy draws,this is dating back to Larry Scott days

There's no need to go into the mythological realm of draw conspiracies.
its all over cyber sphere...go to any tennis website,its been like that for years since Larry Scott days..:rolleyes:

So you're going with the "I read it on the Internet so it must be true" defense? Please ...
even Stevie Wonder can see that WTA gives pova easy rides time and time again...look at the WTA website and notice that that 40 love thing is about pova and no one else and Stacy McAllister was Larry Scott s VP so obviously it was a consensus to focus on pova at the expense of the other players.Mattek at some point complained that the tour should embrace all players not just pova.:rolleyes:

Look, I dislike Sharapova for many reasons but was it really her fault Serena lost in the first match she played at RG last year to Razzano? Maybe, just maybe that might have impacted the draw just a small bit, don't you think?
