Radwanska: Azarenka is bad for image of the game – Another WTA controversy – YouTube Video

And again… another controversy among women. Interesting enough Ana Ivanovic was quite sincere about the fact that there is too much tension in the ladies locker room due to too much personal competitiveness (see article here).

Apparenlty Radwanska was talking about Azarenka hobbling and wincing between rallies during parts of their semi-final match in Doha due to an alleged (well… that was real) injury to her ankle. Eventually Azarenka won that match (see here the article) and then the tournament, but she had to pull out from the Dubai tournament for the same injure (see here the article).

‘Well, to be honest, I don’t think this is worth a comment. But I think after this match….just lost a lot of respect. That’s it,” Radwanska said.

‘If you do this in the match, if anyone didn’t see the match, I think it’s just a quick look on YouTube (watch video above) and you’ll know what was going on.’

‘Yeah, I was angry because I don’t think this is the great image for the women’s tennis, what was going on there,’ she added. ‘So, yeah, unfortunately.’

Then, there was something more also at Sharapova.

‘Of course everybody can make some noise. This is tennis,’ Radwanska said.

‘But I think it’s just too loud. I don’t think it’s very necessary to scream that loud. So if they (the WTA) want to do something, why not?’

Easy ladies… easy… Ana was right, too much tension. Go out and have a pizza togheter and take it easy. The bill would be on Radwanska.
