Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 3173793, member: 197"] In a men's match yesterday, Wawrinka vs. Tsitsipas, the latter smashed his racquet, then held up the match while getting a new one. No warning. A bit after that antic, he threw down water bottles on the court with a "bit"of force, but not sure he received any warning for that either. He also hit a ball into the crowd after missing it, and per the announcers, should have been a point violation, which would have awarded Wawrinka that game. Again, nothing. They then showed video of Tsitsipas losing his temper on sidelines of prior matches by repeatedly hitting himself in the head, along with smashing other bottles. I am not arguing that anything Serena or Venus may have done was incorrectly punished, however it would be great to see the rules enforced evenly between mens and women's matches, regardless of ranking.
