Halep, Rafa, Indian Wells and More!

[@karenslaughing]

Totally agree about Simona- also that Mourataglou has no penalty. He should offer to pay her legal fees!

[@AA-le9ls]

Why are you blaming Halep's coach? Wasn't it determined that the substance came from a contaminated food supplement?

[@cathy7562]

Actually, it was a collagen supplement contaminated with Roxadustad that Mouratoglu's team recommended her to take. She is no scientist, they don't travel with a testing lab from tournament to tournament, so SImona had no way of knowing that she was ingesting a contaminated supplement. Yes, the team and coach should be punished at least at the same level as the player.

[@AA-le9ls]

​​​@@cathy7562I don't understand your logic. Isn't the only one responsible the manufacturer of the collagen supplement? Unless Moratoglou knew about the contaminarion, it seems ridiculous to punish him for anything. Should Sinner's coach be punished if he recomends Sinner to eat carrots and it turns out that the carrots that they buy from some supermarket are contaminated with something?

[@cathy7562]

@@AA-le9ls So, based on your logic, the only guilty side is the manufacturer. Fine, and I agree. Then, why was Halep punished at all? Why would a player be the only one punished, while the coach and team who gave the athlete the tainted supplement, even without their knowledge, not be punished?

[@AA-le9ls]

@@cathy7562 Neither the player nor the coach should be punished in this case. We seem to agree on that. If you discover that a person who has been punished for something is innocent, things don't get better if another innocent person gets punished also.

rafa is embarrassing himself often these days. Once by accepting saudi money and now by collecting over a million by playing netflix slam. Charging 150k$ per hour of personal tennis practice with him. Collected another 2 to 3 million. And returned back home... Citing "icant lie to myself and my fans😂 my level is notngood enough" Everybody knows he is only waiting for clay season. He will run like a gazelle there at RG and olympics. And fans go crazy as usual like he has miraculously pulled out some unexpected victory. 😇

You are a hater.

[@Zain-mg3yk]

You are an emotional ignorant hater. All the players accept Saudi money in tennis. ATP has an ongoing relationship with them. Players play exhibitions Novak n Alcaraz played in Dec 2023. Next gen we’re playing tournament in Jeddah in Dec 23 and will do so for the next 4 years till 2027. Retired players also play exhibitions because they require less physical effort. When you play an ATP tournament u need to be fitter n stronger . If Rafa realizes he is not ATP tournament fit, then he is not. It’s his body, he knows best. If his preparations is not up to standard he would know, he is the professional. You are a keyboard warrior. Chances are you support a player that abuses the public: telling them to STFU, goads the public: telling them to suck his genitals , Madrid 2103, SW19 , that abuses umpires and ball kids. A player that is accused by their colleagues of gamesmanship: Murray, Stan, Roddick, PCB, Fritz, Tsitsipas . A player that is defaulted and disqualified. A player that spreads a deadly virus to journalists and endanger their lives and attends kids events while sick A player that hosts an event while there is a virus. Think who is embarrassing. Laugh at Rafa for having physical issues but Rafa ‘embarrassing’ for his physically issues, never. He played his whole career with a foot defect. Keep mocking him while praising other players for taking the same money. Or is it bitterness of Netflix waiting the whole year because they wanted to throw millions at an embarrassing player. They had all the healthy players but wanted him. U should concern yourself with your own life. He is not asking for donations from u or anyone. He uses his own skills and talent to earn money. No one is forced to deal with him. Use your own skills to earn money let’s see if u can. Whoever u support, they didn’t want him. They have their reasons. Why be mad. Campaign for him, maybe they can take him as well. Stay pressed and ignorant

[@Zain-mg3yk]

Rafa using his money to support your fellow countryman. he building schools in your country . He can charge whatever he wants. If they want to buy it, they can. No one is forcing anyone. Jealous makes u nasty. He has 92 singles titles 11 doubles titles 5 Davis Cup titles Best person you can learn from. Over 20 years on ATP He has highest level of self control and discipline. His lessons are invaluable to anyone who out of free will wants to buy Just cry and in 20 years you might actually feel better For now bitch and moan. Waste your time, stay focused on a strange athlete u see on TV.

Novak saves his body now as well. Over 35 they are on the backside of their careers. Serena was a GS specialist at 30!
