Nobody is forcing them to be jockeys. If it's too dangerous for you, do something else.

[@marcpower4167]

That's the way I always understood it, don't even have to swear just be disrespectful to get code violations: 1st time is a warning, 2nd time is a point penalty, 3rd time is a game penalty and 4th time is a match penalty. For instance it was only a couple of years ago with Serena Williams getting a warning because her coach was illegally gesturing to her during a rally which she denied, then smashed her racket on the court for a point penalty (and an automatic fine) and argued it should have only been a warning because the umpire was wrong earlier and he should have retracted it (can't retract penalty calls) She called him a thief and got a 3rd penalty and may have gotten a fine for that too (not sure). I could really show my age and bring up how John McEnroe used to get penalties often for mouthing off at the umpire and didn't always swear at them either: "YOU CALL THAT IN?" "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!" "ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!! 😡 THE QUUESTION JERK!"

[@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.

She was right about the court. And they had to stop it cause the rain that's why she was pissed

[@TomMarvan]

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!

That's why her career is nowhere

[@MeMe-td1ye]

Is Debbie chase Serena's friend from all those meltdowns?! Wouldn't demand Serena play in rain. That's for damn sure.

[@yakzivz1104]

and Serena would have gotten disqualified for all of that cussing too. Kenin didn't lose a single point for her behavior.

[@descarroll2039]

The umpire should have been far more strict....too soft...

[@francisza22]

How can ANYONE bear to watch these matches with such childish death whine on every single stroke.

[@STRAWYB]

Chair umpires need to realise that it is the players that are running around down there.

[@sasha_ytube]

Umpire be like "dunno its not slippery sitting up here"

[@Emolga6274]

Doesn’t matter , umpire decides , not the whiny baby player

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Yeah, he probably never even noticed that, huh?

[@dimensionexo.]

Indeed *

[@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

[@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!

[@jerzyzieba3836]

She was right….

[@JOSEANTONIOSANCHEZSALINAS]

do not justify his embarrassing attitude

[@CoopMauKona]

@@JOSEANTONIOSANCHEZSALINAS The only embarassing thing is the crowd. Swearing is part of life.

[@JOSEANTONIOSANCHEZSALINAS]

@@CoopMauKona Your argument is: since the public has a bad attitude, I can have it too... no son, no... that's not how ethics works

[@colesmith7509]

That’s absolutely not what the argument is. You lack the cognitive ability to decipher was as actually said lmao

[@coty38200]

​@@colesmith7509I don't care if the referee makes a mistake. They are humans. What I can't stand is that the player behaves like a little girl who stands idly by at daycare because of a problem. He also insulted the judge "f* you"

[@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.

[@rfish67]

She was right about the rain. And she is the better player.

[@Licantropo1974]

Of course, and was she right to say fuck you to the umpire? Stop playing without the umpire's approval? I want to hope you're not American, otherwise explain everything... 😂😂

[@joshpeller2391]

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

[@skeletalwreck]

Trying to bring a big American Sports style arrogant attitude to a more refined game. It does not mix well.

[@bigshash9946]

This is why I love to watch tennis. Balanced demographics and superb professionalism.

[@gohboon7525]

Is her behaviour acceptable? Using profanity at the referee should disqualify her.

[@andersnielsen6044]

True. Her game should be over for 6 month

[@tommyo2450]

Perfectly acceptable when they're idiots.

[@HldnTudix00]

It’s ok they’re all adults. If adults can’t handle curse words they need to stay away from humanity.

[@kyungshim6483]

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

[@aleksandrmelikov308]

Refs are usually wait till game is over then call it. Players should know this and keep playing until it is called. But Sofia was obviously right

[@petergeorge2716]

She was completely in the right.

[@GhostofGerulaitis]

Ball don't lie (but tennis officials do).

[@JOSEANTONIOSANCHEZSALINAS]

[@timcollins3794]

And players can be total c nts.

[@jeffguybersen]

OK, so I don't watch much tennis, but I will say this, if the people in the crowd are holding umbrellas because there is rain coming down, and a player on the court says it's too slippery to play, I'm gonna have to take that players word for it. And then the match went and got postponed due to rain minutes later. Everybody talking about how she doesn't have any class in this and that, but none of your careers are being put on the line by a judge that clearly ignorant and shouldn't be judging tennis matches. Don't get me started on the superintendent that comes out and says the court is playable, 10 minutes before he postpones the match due to unplayable conditions. Think about it this way, who's footing the bill when someone slips and breaks their leg, after telling them it was too slippery to play? Because I'll tell you what, if she would have broken her leg or ankle, she would've had good grounds to sue.

[@joannagrzywna545]

Sabalenka had 3 championship points in Madrid that she didn't use. Iga had 2 and finalized on the second. Iga just played Kenin in AO.

[@petercastaneda5338]

Is it me or are tennis players some of the most spoiled, entitled and whiny athletes ever.

I BECAME A GREAT FAN OF SOFIA KENIN. THE BEST MOMENT OF ROME. 2024.

[@FranktheDachshund]

Those gams though.

[@trommelbiel]

Sofia is a good girl. She is absolutely right. Those greedy organisers should respect the safety of the players.

[@tiberrm2]

It was not raining at all, a few drops of rain that wasn't even wetting the court or lines .... I was there. Referee and opponent were caught by surprise by her leaving the court ... So just the usual drama queen.

[@BlizzyFoxTF]

A good girl?? 😂😂

[@GhostofGerulaitis]

100% bro

[@PeterPeach21]

She was being a brat 😂

[@Stampingerms]

Such rude behaviour on Kenin part?

[@eric6650]

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.

[@UCanOnlyChangeU]

Sofia Kenin was not here to play with anyone lol. What a way to win a point.

[@AlbertMorjaim]

I also would not risk my career by falling and breaking a leg on slippery wet court !!

[@EugeneSir]

F word is not acceptable in professional tennis

[@RodrigoGonzalez-ff1sv]

Why not?

[@NotSettlingForSecondBest]

Because it's rude and unprofessional. I used to work with the public and I walked away from anyone who swore and did not help them.

The umpires aren't the ones running and sliding on the court. It's the players that have to deal with the conditions and BE AT RISK of getting injured!

[@Yvagne]

Agree.

[@kuleebaba9014]

Sure, but it's not her call. She has the option to withdraw.

[@user-bp8vk1ed5n]

​@@kuleebaba9014 what do you mean by it is not her call ? And who tf you are? She risks it all. Of course withdraw is the option but if the conditions are bad you need to be loud about it.

If you don't wanna play, leave. It's that simple. What a child.

[@marivipalomino6975]

She didn’t want to play under those conditions.

[@lanceb.]

Biased fans booing a visiting player who did not want to play on a court she deemed to be unsafe. They would not have booed their own for the same reason. Yes, Sofia, you should not have used profanity, maybe just give them the finger, well maybe not that either. Good for you, Sofia, wanting to be sure it was safe to play. The crowd should have backed you but only cared about seeing their own victorious. Nothing else mattered. Not very sporting. By the way, I’m glad you won.
