A heartwarming story about sexual harassment, corruption and omertĂ within the ATP. Someone threatened to sue me if I published this, so we gonna see what's going on with that.
Why do you think Federer got all at once "surgery" ?! This guy is cash machine for the game. ATP revenue is 3times bigger than Serena' tour. Serena won 8 or 9 GS after she was out of the game with some serious illness and surgeries. Federer was playing without winning and they got to the point to compare Serena to Federer' career. But they know very well that Fed iS the one who generate a lot of money for them. When Fed shut down his 2016 season just before OG they knew the things got serious and they will lose a lot of money. So they needed to please somehow Fed and as we know Del Potro is a client of Team 8. BOOM all at once Del Potro is in F of OG . Then he got a WC for USO. Lol. He beat #1 player and Nadal. I will not be surprised if Dimitrov got something more as well at USO. Just to convince Fed to get back on tour.
I think this has little to do with Arabs vs the West, and more with a certain mediterranean male attitude, if you look at the persons involved and some locations where it happened. And this is reinforced by the traditional chauvinisism in the sports world
There is a huge difference in this respect between for example the US and France. I don't think Dominique Strauss-Kahn would have been arrested in France.
Asking him to stop was futile. The most offensive and rude incident happened in Gstaad, when the first thing umpire Gianluca Moscarella asked upon entering her office was whether she wanted to join him for sex. She had never met him before. He kept insisting and after asking him why he was acting like that, Moscarella answered, ''You provoked me by having big tits and a big ass.''
The thing about stories like this is that it makes you think about how many of these "incidents" happen and are silenced... If that dude allows him self to walk into a room with a girl he's never seen before and spit "lets have sex" as his first words you realize this is not a new thing... He knows very well that he can do this.
bulletproof in-depth, considered response from the ATP which ties up all loose ends, leaving no questions unanswered, maximum reassurance, nothing to see here, clean as a whistle-blower.
She was basically talking shit without knowing anything. A mixture of jealousy and her usual permanent state of butthurt and arrogance.
I just can't stand tennis journalists who take themselves so seriously and have absolutely no sense of humour. You're a tennis journalist for crying out loud, that's only one step above TMZ on a good day. No actual journalist takes you seriously.
I sent her this in response:
