I had no idea, either. Good on Margaret that she pays such close attention. At the very least, isn't this lack of effort and poor sportsmanship? But, realistically, it stinks of something worse. Davydenko was mixed up in something like this, some years back.

In 2021 Yastremska failed an out of competition doping test, and was banned for 6 months, Yastremeska always claimed she was innocent, after serving her 6 months provisional ban, she appealed a few times, and a independent tribunal found she wasnt at fault.
She is being coached again by Sasha Bajin.

On top of all this other stuff, she has a really bad habit of taking an MTO when the match starts to go against her. She will be hopping around like the Energizer bunny rabbit and when she starts losing, she calls an MTO and cites some imaginary problem.

Well, she's lost MY vote for Miss Popularity, and Sportswoman of the Year.

Yeah I knew she was a convicted doper. So doper, match fixing cheat and totally unsporting. What's not to like?!

Congratulations to Johanna Konta on the birth of her baby daughter Emmelina born on the 12th September!

Tbf she had wrist problems all match. Did you see the 30-0 point she cried in pain. Sure it looks suspect but I think it could have been a legit problem. See if she plays next week...

Hey, she has 'cried wolf in the past' making excuses in the past, lets see if she does play next week.

Just looking at the entry list for WTA500 San Diego tournament, in October, 7 out of the Top 10 women are entered to play.

It was on the Radacanu serve, so all she had to do was watch 2 serves whizz past and gingerly shake hands at the net. She must know she's growing a dodgy reputation. An ethical person would care about that. It seems increasingly clear she is not.

Emma was receiving. You can hear her opponent cry out in pain as she hits the ball at 0-15. She then had the trainer on court mid game. It seems ridiculous to fake injury potentially 2 points from the end.

She is the worst 'faker on tour' I can assure you, it dosent surprise me what she gets up to., also she decided to retire, than give Emma a victory.

I guess you were watching, then. I read it was on the Radacanu serve. I guess we'll see how it plays out with her injury, but she does have marks against her in terms of sportsmanship, leading up to this.

Legit injury?
