Embarrassing on her part I thought.

She’s just a **** Nick Kyrgios.

She has to admit she didn’t play well. There’s no shame in that. It happens. She needs to learn how to be the favourite, because she should have won today.

Re: Konta, i think its just latent patriarchy. The condescension in the way question was asked is there for all to hear, "the numbers are IBMs".

She does seem to have an issue dealing with lesser players, or maybe its just coincidence.

The interview does seem to have split opinion though.

Grey doesn't seem to exist anymore. I'd say they were both being unprofessional. "presumably you want to win a grand slam" is indeed condescending, but refusing to address a reasonable point and getting the hump isn't good enough either.

But if the people involved in any spat are of different genders, social class or race, then it's all aboard the identity politics train to offendedville

I thought he was rude, he lead with that and wasn't interested other than having a dig. Thought she stood up for herself well

[Kenneth]

Well, if she's got nothing more to say other than that she is a professional trying her best, there's no need for any more interviews really. She could have made her reasonable point and also answered the question rather than doing a trump. The interviewer really does need to take a lesson from the reaction though.

It was a provocative question, and given her history a low blow.

What would help Konta is a level of belief, belief in her ability because she is good. And therefor admitting it wasnt her best day is not the end of the world.

She needs to develop a bit of spine.

1 set all, 1 game all. Djokovic v Bautista Agut

[Buzzo]

Novak through in 4.

[Buzzo]

Some immense tennis from Rog and Raf.

[Leyton388]

37 and Federer is still an absolute beast.

Halep destroyed Serena 6-2 6-2. Bit of an upset.
