10 years ago, Zheng Qinwen watched Li Na winning Australian Open in front of TV with her tennis teammates.

10 years later, she is two wins away from it...

Shelton has become the perfect representation of the kind of American youth that are so coddled and spoiled by their parents that they always manage to turn themselves into the victim, particularly in situations that are slightly unfavorable to them.

Notice how his father conveniently omits the fact that Shelton was trash talking Djokovic the whole match. Shelton mocked Djokovic on the court in ways the cameras didn’t even capture.

And that would’ve all been fine, because that’s what athletes do. So when Djokovic beat him in straight sets (the match wasn’t even close), he decided to return the favor. And Shelton couldn’t handle it. He pouted.

If Shelton and his daddy can’t take the heat, maybe they aren’t ready to compete with the big dogs yet. Instead of being grateful for the opportunity to have so much exposure and to have such a wonderful tournament, they have chosen to go on a tirade against Djokovic and position Shelton as some kind of little victim. It’s off putting and weak.

My family and I were thrilled for Shelton in the early stages of the tournament. I watched every second of his match against Tommy Paul. We were so excited to see a young American player doing so well. I cleared my schedule to watch him play Tiafoe. But if this is the PR strategy they’re taking on Shelton’s behalf, it’s only going to do him a disservice in the end. He’s becoming more unlikable by the minute.

Alcaraz has every reason to be as arrogant as Shelton is. He actually has the game, the experience, and the wins. And yet he still manages to be respectful and humble. Shelton could learn a thing or two from the Spaniard.

For someone who has won 23 Grand Slams and generally had a career up there with the greats of the sport, Serena throwing shade at a fellow competitor who has gone through a tough time and trying to clear her name off the back of a 4-year drug ban is the lowest of the low.

@TheTennisLetter seriously, who even cares anymore about what this guy has to say ?! is he going to talk about his “retirement” for the next 4 years? Just retire already and go on with your partying and playing video games

@Roksanche @Diego_Barbiani @JJlovesTennis looks like iga is about to hit a heavy top spin forehand (the harder shot to hit in this instance, in my opinion), while Kim is about to hit a forehand slice. either way, incredible mobility 🔥

@BenRothenberg First of all, it’s called football. Secondly, this is a pretty good team, young and full of heart, just fairly inexperienced at at this stage

@JarrettHill Small correction, She didn’t actually win the French that year, she gave Sharapova a walkover in the 4th round, her results were immense nonetheless.

Something I hope we all learned here:

* You can hate Djokovic and still think he got treated poorly.

* You can love Djokovic and still think he made some mistakes.

Translated:

We can have our opinions and preferences but should be able to acknowledge limits and imperfections
