Sports(wo)manship

[BluudyEEfingaz]

Serena comforts an injured and emotional Lisicki. This is touching and I wish there was more of this not only in tennis but here even.

Lisicki is a crybaby though. Could definitely need some comforting today.

I have so much more respect for Serena now, that's the kind of stuff they should be showing rather than the outbursts, Lisicki does seem to dramatise her injuries though.

So gutted Lisicki is out of the US Open, if she could stay injury free she'd surely be a top 10 player, just needs to get a consistent run of wins together.

Germans are dropping like flies...

Lisicki, Görges and Petkovic already out and Florian Mayer just retired. ANd Kohlschreiber gets Llodra of all unseeded players.

Ah, takes me back a few years, so it does. What's that you say Harry? 70 years? Yeah, that sounds about right. Ah, the good old days, so they were!

[Otlichno]

Lisicki is a crybaby though.

This times a million.

sportsman is also when you tell a line judge that you will shove the ball down their throat till they die. or maybe thats the opposite....

[Corbon]

Don't listen to Coolhand, he's totally out of control, a hater and just unattractive inside.

[djarvik]

Coolhand, you better cross the street when you see her coming....wait....when is she ever walking down the street?

[Coolhand Texas]

I am just pointing out the negativity with the positivity you cant neglect one incident and glorify another.

I know it's only a short addition you've put in there, but you're making it out like she threatened to kill the lines judge, which didn't happen. Not that it makes what she said at the time any worse.

From 12:55 onwards in this video she's shown great sportsmanship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12jXYPptJz4

She has always been gracious both in victory and defeat, and that's far more than what can be said about other WTA players. Not to mention she's one of the few who do not take injury timeouts and bathroom breaks to break opponents rhythm.
