SOFIA KENIN CUSSES OUT UMPIRE TWICE AND REFUSES TO PLAY: SUPERVISOR CALLED TO THE COURT MAY 9, 2024

Round of 128 match May 9, 2024 - Sofie Kenin vs. Lucia Bronzetti in Rome Italian Open - Sofia: "F*ck you!" to umpire. A day later she beat Ons Jabeur. It's possible she could play Iga Swiatek soon.

Injuries can hapoen in tennis or any athletic pursuit. Jockeys in horse racing are followed around by an ambulance, and sometimes they end up in the back of that ambulance. Nobody is forcing them to be jockeys. If it's too dangerous for you, do something else.

[@onlyrealtalentedartists]

Swearing at an umpire is unprofessional, she is a brat, her father should teach her manners besides tennis. Also, to those people saying should be the players to decide if is to dangerous, if this was the case, the player will want to stop the game "because is dangerous" just because she is tired or loosing the game , and if the court will be really dangerous but she is winning then they will want to continue anyway. Players will use this rule to their advantage. The umpire is not a random person from the street and knows about court conditions, players are not better than umpire to decide. the wta is full of brats with no class, is sad to see

[@marivipalomino6975]

I think players should have a say in the conditions of the court. It is them who are playing. The Umpire says: For me it is ok, but she is not playing, she is seating up there on a chair. Kenin was one break down, it was important for her not to risk an injury. Finally she was right. I have suffered four sprains for unsafe conditions of the court so I’m with her in this.

I think Sofia, for her long term success, should explore a change of coaches. I saw her play live in San Diego last year and she is clearly very talented, but there seems to be a continued underlying aggravation which, in the short term, can be a great motivator, but can really be a grind. She is mature enough to go to the next level of continued success, injuries notwithstanding. I thought the supervisor’s demeanor was very unprofessional. Thank you for the video!

I find it very interesting that Kenin didn't lose any points or games for cussing out the umpire???? Serena lost a whole game just for calling the umpire a fraud/liar, at the US Open.

[@scampbell1566]

"thief" was the word Serena used, not that it's any worse or better

[@BassByTheBay]

Because there's an escalating penalty scale in tennis for repeated infractions. First you get a warning, which Kenin got. Then you lose a point, then a game, then the match. In the US Open match with Osaka, Serena was given a warning, then lost a point for the next infraction, then a game for the next. The ump in the Serena match was full of it, though. It was absurd to penalize her for calling him a thief after he took a point from her. "Thief" is an extremely tame criticism - not even close to an obscenity, and it was certainly an understandable response to the point penalty which she felt was unjustified. I didn't like Serena's behavior that day, but the ump's reaction to being called a thief will go down as one of the lamest penalties ever given in tennis.

Kenin reminds us talent doesn’t equate to character.

[@magdalenaborek8350]

She shouldn’t be forced to play if she thought it’s unsafe

[@jimmyjackson2361]

She didn’t have to play. They can’t force her to play.

[@timmusumba5846]

She was fortunate to win the match in the end after throwing a tantrum! Usually you can get upset and you lose the match as well!

[@Schoonie7626]

but it’s kenin. she’s pretty chill she just has a temper when she’s upset she is a good girl.

[@ricklee5845]

Yes, a proper little angel.

[@sohailhines]

Yep, only has a temper when she's upset, like McEnroe and Rublev. Perfectly calm until she's not :)

I've played on wet clay, you just glide across the court and save a lot of energy, but if you don't play on it a lot and you plant too fast, you can trip

[@Epistemicwriter]

She and Ostepenko are Karen twins! She's terrible for the integrity of the game

[@arminv8169]

La condiciones de la cancha era la misma para ambas jugadores. Kenin podría haber tenido razón pero demostró ser una maleducada, nada más. No justifiquen una conducta antideportiva.

[@liamonconlocha4898]

Swearing at an umpire is unprofessional, she is very bad-mannered plus the set is almost lost, she has to blame something. More respect for the game and the public, she really neefs to think about who and what she is

[@Stratisfied22]

The umpire deserved it. The lines on the court are made of a plastic type material and is very slippery when wet. They should have stopped play a long time before they did.

Obvious delay tactic... throwing off Bronzetti at an important point and push the delay into possible rain delay. Definitely Italy should have been penalized at least a point.

I thought she was constipated and was looking for a way to postpone the match to another day. Then I saw the rain come down and then I knew she had a point.

[@BestMuscleVideo]

Constipated? - Chris

[@mennis1966]

She know how her footing is on the court and they had to stop it anyway they are ridiculous at these tournaments. Those players shouldn't have to be forced to play if they think its unsafe and it's easy for the umpire and director to say it's ok to continue they're not out there, it's not like the lines are dirt they are plastic strips nailed in the ground.

[@lilydog1000]

She had the option to not play. I like Kenin, but sometimes players can act like divas.

[@antoinev9733]

yeaaah tennis is a sooo dangerous sport !!

[@razorback9926]

But the opponent didn’t say it was too slippery, only Kenin said it. Ump will stop if both players say it’s not safe.

Weather is same for both players!

[@robertwoods3750]

in the end , it's the players call weather they think it's not right to play , since they are the ones who could sustain injuries that could render them out of the sport for good , so you lose a match if you keep your health. play was stopped a few minutes later so who was right?. i particularly like how the chair umpire got out her chair and walked over to where the player would be standing on the serve line and moved one foot around for a sec. then declared it was o.k. , you can't get a "feel" from the court like that , looks like it was all about her ego, not the players.

[@t.j2858]

These umpires don’t know shit! They’re not the ones playing, it’s different walking on clay and having to run on it. Adding the pressure of your added body weight on sudden movements, stopping and going. It’s a safety hazard and Kenin is absolutely right.

[@al1976-v7m]

If she had waited for the game to end and then complained they would have probably interrupted the game then.

[@4KVideoPlaces]

Sofia Kenin was pointing out what she knows that the courts were unplayable, and then after Kenin won the point, NOW! they call the court unplayable because of the same rain as before. The rain did not stop, however Sofia Kenin should know that unfair calls by officials in sports do happen & she needs to concentrate on her game and not get distracted by noise & other peoples stupidity.

[@ceebee8042]

She's got to protect her health.

[@kuleebaba9014]

Yes, but how you communicate matters. Kenin's seeming mental issues are affecting her behaviour in court. Her behaviour is self-defeating. She is not getting favorable judgement calls. No way.
