Does the younger williams brother have a point about sexism in sport.

Or is he just a bad loser.

Well, if she thought a decision unfair, she was right to raise the issue.
But the longer it went on it just sounded like a McEnroe rant from years past.
And THAT to me was deliberately trying to influence a game through unfair means..

@Picklebobble2 Agreed! I don't think she had any complaint for a court violation of smashing her racquet and calling an official a cheat and a thief was disgusting. If I saw juniors talking at that at my tennis club I'd soon out them right on the etiquette of what's acceptable! Good to get fired up but never to abuse officials.

@Petermatureuk3 Have to say i'm not much of a fan of Tennis these days.
'Champions' tend to have long reigns and nobody seems to question whether that's because they're truly exceptional players, or because they all (male or female !) seem to have the same physical characteristics.
Then of course, with long time champions comes the question of whether Umpires or Judges [i]may[/i] have been told to let certain behaviour slide because of all the revenue those people bring in to the sport !
I'm sure that must be the ONLY reason people like McEnroe, Nastase, etc survived !
