Star Players Losing it at the US Open!

It seems that no one was in the mood to lose. I tweeted Serena before her match against Kim and to my surprise she responded. It seemed like she was ready to get on the court and play her best game. However, just like the rain Kim had other plans. I understand having disappointment with yourself especially with Kim beating Venus 3 rounds earlier, but don't take all that frustration out on someone who was trying to do her job. Yes, it was a bad call, but would that have seriously turned things around for you..um yea no. Then today Mr Roger decides to give a few choice words to the chair umpire, now he did not say he would stick a tennis ball down his throat, but these are players that usually are very professional and have good sportsmanship through wins and losses. Maybe it was the rain or maybe PMS and twins crying all night was involved, but either way both were inexcusable.

Mini Tiger?

Seventh grader Alexis Thompson is the youngest golfer ever to play in the U.S. Women's Open. This is a great accomplishment, but does she really have to go pro now? It's so much pressure for a 12 yr old to uphold. I guess the endorsements are to good to pass up. I just don't think that a persons childhood should be compromised to make big money. I still wish her much success and hopefully the parents will keep her grounded and let her enjoy life.
