Question, was it ethical for Lindsay to be commentating the Serena/Domi match for Tennis Channel, being that she coach's the player the winner would play in the semifinals?
I definitely have an issue with it.

I think she can call other matches, she just can't call any her player is participating in. Besides, is Lindsay calling Serena's QF match going to change the outcome of the SF for her pupil?
Keys is toast. Serena may have had a tough time until the QFs but once she reaches the final rounds she turns on her boosters.
WTF This semifinal is TOMORROW and its a DAY match?! Wow that is incredibly sexist of the Australian Open. You have the number 1 and number 2 players in the world in semis and you don't even think its worth making it a night match and giving the top half players over 24 hours to rest.

Once Serena gets past the q/final stages here at the Australian Open she has been unstoppable,I cant see that changing now.I have been impressed with Madison Keys age 19,in this tournament,she has deserved her semi final spot,she has held her nerve in crucial points of her previous matches,to me she has shown maturity beyond her years,which will hold her in good stead in her career.
Serena in straight sets.

Serena can sense Maria S blood now.. I dont think Keys will have enough mobility to keep up with Serena'a firepower.

I just believe it not ethical being as she is the coach of the player whom is going to play the winner of that match.
I could never imagine the coach of a team that has made the Super Bowl, commentating the football game of the teams his team might meet in the Super Bowl.

I mean I essentially look at it as she knows Serena's game. Everyone knows Serena's game, so it isn't like commentating adds an advantage to Keys game. Any good coach would have been at the match anyway scouting. We just got the added bonus of Lindsay commentating.
