Tennis Match Rules
Maria Sharapova is an embarrassment to women tennis & sport it represents?

As a tennis player and coach, respect a sport, I can not help but notice that tournement organizers simple games for Sharapova, the semi-finals (where they have no control) so they could win, not to mention chair accessible rich rule in their favor on important points. Is now "Beauty" is the game and the rules in tennis, or should we look real good Tennis player?

Every single tournament of the ATP / Women's Tour held in the main event draws such as Wimbledon, to smaller tournaments to challenger and satellite all have an open draw. This means that all players and the media are entitled to watch the tournament draw the names, the establishment of the draw. In addition to the # 1 seed from the Top of the draw, and the # 2 at the bottom, the rest of the draw set up accordingly. A separate draw is held for the other seed placement. Seeds 3 / 4 in either section of the game plan set, 5-8 as well, and so on. Then, all non-seeded players have a blind draw in the rest of the tournament given. Sometimes even qualifiers play each other first round, everything is possible. It is to "fix" impossible these open draws, as you know, "entitled" to some. Of course You may dislike the current U.S. Open champion Sharapova, but at least you get information straight before you mouth off. Remember, at the Open, she defeated five seeded players (The maximum you can set as a face), and defeated the # 1 and # 2 seed. Wow, what a drag for a simple one. But apparently winning the U.S. Open and Wimbledon is not well, tennis, because you are ugly to have to be a good tennis player.

And so…
