Yulia Putintseva outburst at tennis coach for watching flat Earth conspiracy videos during her match

Entitled people like her make me want to ***.

If the Earth is really round, a pro tennis player could probably hit a ball fast enough that it would never come down

They say you’re only as old as the woman you feel.

So what age is Jamin? ???

The incident is around the 3:00 mark of the video

The coach does feel entitled.

This isn't college or the NFL. The tennis player pays the coach and the coach works for the athlete. He wasn't earning his pay. Actually watching videos at work. Putintseva should have fired him. Still can.

Tennis players and their coaches are nuts. I used to live in a little town that held a major annual tournament and I could tell you some stories. But it was great having an influx of East European hotties for a couple of weeks or so.

Jamin, bitcoin is about to shoot up, again! Get in now then get out on December 31st. You're welcome.

wow. i stopped watching tennis years ago. i might start again.

One weird bit; the video seemed to intimate that if the ball was long, but the player played it, then the point should be replayed. that is nuts. the moment a ball is long it is out of play and the point is over and awarded. what happens next is moot.

or has this now changed? the player about to play the ball has a responsibility to ensure her opponent has played the ball in? and if she plays the ball she shares culpability for her opponents error?

shurely not.

A major part of working for Putintseva is to get shouted at. He would have known that before he took the job.

She's definitely got some sort of personality disorder, it's just how she is.

The scenario the rules are trying to curb is

* Player A sees Player B's ball bounce questionably long/wide

* A goes for broke and misses

* A retroactively challenges the call on the ball they chose to hit

There are some interesting variations of the scenario, like

* Player A tries to serve-and-volley off a 1st serve

* A's serve is questionably long/wide, but returned by B

* A misses the volley

* A challenges his own serve, calls it out, to try and get a 2nd serve

So there's a rule that a player challenging a call should stop playing the point as soon as they see their opponent's ball out. The umpire's allow some wiggle room because striking a ball is almost a reflex.

That exchange is rather unusual. They don't sound like they get on very well.

Coach shouldn't be watching videos during her match. He deserved to be called on it imo

I bet she is annoyed because he was on OnlyFans.
