Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, June 06, 2003

OK. I understand that the French wanted to cheer for Henin instead of Serena. Fine.

But Henin herself pulled one of the least classy moves I've seen in a long time. Serena was in the middle of a serve, and Henin raised her hand to ask her to stop. Serena saw it, checked her serve, dumped one into the net. But the ump didn't see Henin and counted the serve out. Serena said "She put her hand up!" Henin denied it, acted like nothing had happened.

That's horrible. Henin played a great match, but she deserves no praise for that bullshit move.
