Roddick is just totally out-classing Canas right now ... I'm looking for him and Federer in the final next Sunday. THAT will be a match.

The officiating in this tournament has really been awful this time. Serena had 4 or 5 calls that were just wrong. I don't know if Capriati still would have won, but there's no excuse for those calls. Agassi had a few calls go against him earlier that were wrong, too. How many umpires have been banned?

The official gets 'punished' by not officiating anymore in the Open this year.

Big deal at Q-Final Stage! ( was she scheduled to officiate in further rounds? )

The 'injured' player, in this instance, Serena, loses far more.

Something, far more than merely refusing to pick the official further, has to be seen to be done - too many officiating errors, dealt leniently, would devalue the sport.

you can see their point tho...if they ok umpire witch hunts, every single player would be going after their official every game for every "wrong" call!

I agree that Serena was injured. Unfortunately, one can't appeal a judgement call. My point in this is that the umpiring has been really bad in this tournament. I think it's obvious that it needs to be improved.

sigh :rolleyes: still don't get it...

i don't give a monkey's about grammar i was merely pointing out the lameness of your original insult (Timothy Henwomen? really?)

but then you came back with PendanticCow so at least you're consistent!

peace out xxx
 
Roddick out. :p

Federer on his way to his 3rd title of the year. :D
