Weekly Musings-4

Another quite week but Steffi's blog about US Open recap surprisingly (or should I say, unsurprisingly) made news for her comments on Serena's behaviour. From Tennis.com to Yahoo to tennis related blogs, the news circulated in the tennis community. Of everything said and written about Serena's behaviour on court during recent US open, her comments were the mildest but since she never says anything about anyone, no wonder it got so much attention. Have to agree with Chris Chase here esp. the last few lines:
"It doesn't sound like much but coming from the guarded, private Graf, it's the equivalent of a stinging rebuke. Graf doesn't stir the pot. When told she's the greatest player ever, she demurs and cites Martina Navratilova . She got married in a private ceremony to Andre Agassi . Other than charitable appearances, she manages to stay out of the limelight, even as her husband continues to stay in it. For her to go out of her way to mention Serena is a surprise; hardly earth-shattering but interesting nonetheless".
