Mattek-Sands refuses to shake hand of chair umpire at Wimbledon

[urcritic]

Hey! Not all American tennis players are bad! For example Serena Williams - oh, she was disqualified 2009 US Open for threatening line judge. What about Venus Williams... oh, she withdrew from 2001 Indian Wells semi against Serena, 4 mins before match. But who can forget Andy Roddick... umm no, he bitches and moans at umpire almost every match. Ok, how about John McEnroe - ha ha, self explanatory. Jeff Tarango (walked off court Wimbeldon 1995). If only I had more space left I'm sure I could f...

@urcritic Isner? Harrison? Fish?

[urcritic]

@hattrickster33 Like I said, "Not all American tennis players are bad". I just ran out of space before I could find one that wasn't. And I'm sure I could list some bad ones from other countries too. It's just that when I started thinking back about controversial players, I realized all the ones I could remember happened to be American.

[5000futuristic]

Chill with this shit guys, not every person in America is "BAD" Most of us are nice people, we are all human beings...

[seinfan9]

I didn't know you had to shake hands with the umpire? That Mattek-Sands character must be racist, bigoted, and a homophobe.

[automattek91]

Sure you're my friend, and I gladly will. :) It's quite stylish if I must say.

[templars83]

Oh and by the way, try not to lose sight of the way she behaved here. She basically slapped the opponents hand rather than shake it, and refuses to shake the umpire's hand.

Yeah she is a ICON of class and sportsmanship. You should continue to support her poor attitude and taste in clown suits. Her tennis clown suits are so bad, they are an insults to clowns everywhere.

[automattek91]

BETHANIE IS AWESOME YOU'RE ALL HATERS

[Raindogs111]

Such hateful comments.

She shits on you all, believe me

[doichanvang]

everywhere we should be polite

[jasongsux]

So? That overrated Swiss prick did the same thing. watch?v=rmgdNZdLob0

[TheReadingStudent]

Man, all the comments seem to be hating on her. She earns more than most if not all of you because she's talented. Also; Maybe she HAD to wear a full sleeve on the left arm because she was told to by Wimbledon? It's pretty strict. Finally - she has a right to be angry about a call she thought was long. Maybe you should be crying more about cheats like Sharapova the Screamer?

[templars83]

@TheReadingStudent What the heck, does it matter if she earns more than anyone or not. Your point is stupid and ill stated - just like the fool who commented above.

[TheReadingStudent]

@templars83 You gave 1) No reason as to why you commented. 2) Any reason why my point was stupid. 3) No reason as to why it was ill stated. You're a fail troll, go fuck off.

[templars83]

@TheReadingStudent Wow brainiac - you can use the F word - aren't you a little classless loser like your attention getting whore hero. How much ink do you have - does it make you feel like a bad bad man capable of bad bad deeds? Ink is for insecure losers - who are not happy with their physical appearance. Learn to deal with your ugliness in a more productive fashion - and try to mature a little along the way.

[TheReadingStudent]

@templars83 Ink is for insecure losers? That one statement made your whole argument invalid and made me realise you're just a poor lonely soul. It's called Art, bro. "try to mature" yourself. Out of the basement. Blocked.

[templars83]

Respond to this video... "You're a fail troll, go fuck off." - and calling someone a troll means you are what - 12? Get a life - get rid of the mirrors in the house if you don't like looking at yourself.

[camaranina]

Thank God she was beaten. Such a trashy attention seeker.

[paretone]

american class

[templars83]

Here is your symbol of American class and current Tennis standing. Notice she wears the white sleeve on one arm to hide her fully tattooed arm. If the woman spent more time on her game, and less on trying to get silly attention for her wacky outfits, perhaps she would get past the 1st round. Her Eyeblack makes her look like a thoroughly lost ass clown.

[joepod]

@templars83 This should have been Misaki Doi's moment, but for Bethanie Mattek-Sands, everything has to be about her.

[automattek91]

@templars83 She is currently the top American tennis player and beat Schiavone and Ivanovic in straight sets this year. Bethanie is on the rise. Who cares if she lost in the first round, it happens to everyone. Who are you to cast judgement on her apparel and tattoo? I think it's awesome and it brings style to the game. I yawn every time I look at what Sharapova or any other top player is wearing. Go take your condescending pessimism somewhere else.

[templars83]

@automattek91 I'll cast judgement all I like seeing it is a free world. SHe is trash and garbage. She makes the USA look like clowns and just because you like to color your skin with silly ink doesn't make it okay to look like a god damn clown while representing your country.

[automattek91]

@templars83 You sound like a sad person, I feel for ya. You certainly are in the minority my friend. People like you won't stop her from being who she is. Seeing it is a free world. :)

[templars83]

@automattek91 Not your friend - not in the minority as the entire world laughed in this goofball's face. You want to root for her that is completely up to you. Better yet, why don't you and Readingstudent get matching tattoos with her attractive eye black swirls so small animals can also get a laugh besides all the people who will find you two humorous to look at.

[divineaglaia]

@templars83 i don't think this is at all a reflection on "American class." I think it's a reflection on the class of Mattek-Sands. Making a blanket statement like that is a reflection of your ignorance.

[annoythefish]

@divineaglaia It's ok, dem yurop peeps have an unhealthy obsession with nitpicking any negative behavior, and like pointing out that some of us are over weight, even though Britain is the most over weight country in the world, let alone Europe.

[kamyueloh]

@annoythefish look up the statistics before you r\print such blatantly racist BS

[itsjonkuo]

@templars83 American class? you have no class for labeling an entire country with your pretentious perspective. Fuck your country.

[richardhawke]

@itsjonkuo Please don't make the US look back by telling other countries to go fuck themselves, at least I hope you're only pretending to be American.

[dekeke999]

bwahahaha...trashy trash
