@GirlPaint: I love Mary and dislike Justin, but if you're suggesting, as you seem to be, that her opinion is more valid than Gimelstob's because she's won a major (a mixed doubles title with John McEnroe) then you're crazy -- Gimelstob has also won the French Open mixed doubles title and the Australian mixed as well!
Carillo? So what if she has won a major! She has no right to judge another player, especially when he's at the start of his career. Roger Federer had just about the same temper, but nobody criticizes him now. He got his act together, and now, is among the best to play the sport. I'm not implying that Harrison will rise to greatness, but come on, he's 19!! I think he should make his mistakes and learn from them.
How can you play any sport and do bad at it and not get mad? Its not normal to just keep your disgust in. Plus honestly, it makes this boring sport more exciting lol
Mary Carillo is awesome. She's actually WON a major title. Gimmelbitch is right...I mean no one really cares about what he thinks, so why bother? In fact, that loser should just hang it up.
@GirlPaint carillo is an idiot. her only talent was her friendship with mcenroe. when she was commentating on the 2000 us open, when mcenroe said that safin or hewitt would be no. 1 by the end of that year, she turned to dick endberg and asked him incredulously, did you hear what he just said!? and in fact both became no. 1 that year, and hewitt ended the year as no. 1 as far as i know. carillo isn't qualified to commentate on tennis, and particularly not on men's tennis.
Disclaimer: I dislike both Carillo and Gimelstob. That being said, I like Gimel's answer to this, which is hard for me to say. Harrison was being "Mr. Cranky Pants" in this match, and he had to grow up if he wants to be the best he can be, but who are we to decide if something was warning-worthy or not? That is the chair umpire's job, not Lazy-Boy critics.
Gimelstob wasn't diplomatic, he was wholly defending Harrison. He was also being a tool, just because it's not your job, doesn't mean you can't have an opinion on it.
@gargarensi And who were they to question his opinion? His opinion does not matter whatsoever, it doesn't affect a thing. They were simply putting him on the spot, and I think he done a good job of shutting them up buy saying it wasn't his job.
Ryan Harrison is a great example of a spoiled kid who always got what he wanted and never got yelled at...

gimelstob was right to be diplomatic here. let's worry about the greater problem--american tennis instead of on court behavior.
