Yeah, Martina was my favourite player too as a kid and clearly butch.

It's nonsense to bring race into it, when I already used Martina as another example of a rough tough broad who's also butch. Bringing race into it is the same as saying, "okay, you're right, I have no argument against what you said, but I dislike that you said it, so..." :cover

We can all very easily agree that Serena is butch, and it has nothing to do with her race. It's because she's built like trouble and has a temper like a bully and fierceness that would make a US Navy SEAL duck for cover. Good for her - it wins her tennis matches.

AP, I mentioned Serena for the reasons I told you above: tossip was being silly in calling Maria butch, while ignoring the fact that if Maria is butch, then Serena is BUTCH. It's silly, but of course, I couldn't let the easy opportunity pass, standing over the net and facing an empty court. ;)

Irrational fear informs you. No one ought to take you seriously.

Just heard Madison Keys split with her coach.
she seems wishy washy...how can she let go of a good coach like that.She had improved a lot and was seemingly playing with a strategy.
These young players will never improve...I think Hogstedt was asking for more money after a successful year.

Most likely someone that's affiliated with the USTA has Madison's ear...or maybe she is looking at an ex player as a coach...otherwise it not a smart move
The coaching carousel continues:

Keys goes back to Davenport
Pliskova hires Kotyza (Petra's old coach)
Petra hires Pliskova's old coach Vanik
Konta hires Wim Fissette as Vika won't be back this year

These girls change coaches like they change their under wear. Unbelievable. Have they ever heard of the word "stability".

Well,
Pliskova was with Vanek 2,5 years, Kvitova was with Kotyza 7 years. If that's not stability then what is?

I saw her commenting on Vika s pictures...she joked with Vika saying that she has a three month old baby that can play doubles with Vika s son.
