Not quite what the reporter wrote, is it.
Its your interpretation of what the reporter wrote to support your preconceived notions about the Williams sisters,
one which I do not agree with. Agree to disagree we must.

I quoted word for word what was in the article.

I dont have preconceived notions Mike or make my own interpretation of anything,  I form an opinon based on what information I am provided with.  The facts are, that the sisters were booed of the court.Not my interpretation, fact.

"and the crowd finished up booing them off as the match was a farce."
 "getting booed for allegedly not trying very hard."

If the quotes above are quoted verbatim from the article as you stated then the standard of  journalism in the Mail has reached an all time low. The only legitimate reason for reading The Mail is to reinforce  preconceived prejudices, it is the only thing it does well.
And you have the cheek to call me gullible.

I'm not reponsible for the standard of journalism and that is not what this thread is about. I dont buy the Mail to 'reinforce preconceived prejudices' ( whatever they may be, maybe you could explain what you mean)

Well here we go!!! It did cross my mind Jukebox re "who wins" however..as an avid fan I don't tink that is the case. I thought a great match but must admit I expected Miss S to win!!! As I am not a "sporty" person I don't really get how a match could be throwm?  Not that you suggested that JB. John, my husband, VERY competitive in all areas of sport said no way was it pre decided!!!

Hey ho another healthy debate.
