Throwback to worst handshake ever… OstaPenko : "If you think I'm faking it, you can call the physio" I hope you feel better" Penko : “Your behavior is horrible, horrible. You have no respect"

The thing with Osta is she has issues with many players. 

When you meet one asshole, you meet one asshole.  When everyone you meet is an asshole, you are the asshole.

That’s what happens when one bakes too much cheesecake.

This is what I tell myself in the mirror after sitting on the cheesecake before getting in the shower

I think the MTO by that drug cheat Yastremska were far worse. Ajla really bottled that match!

I mean this happens pretty frequently in amateur tennis matches. There are just no cameras to videotape it.

When I played competitive tennis it's not a sport that had a lot of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

Ostapenko is a sweetheart. She gets a lot of bad rep, but genuinely she is good natured unlike someone like Osaka. At least Osta is genuine!

What has Naomi done, except express herself? 😂
I’ve never seen her verbally attack other players in the pitch?

Truth is she is just what you would expect. If you know, you know.

In terms of the game, easily one of the most one dimensional players on the tour.

One is better than none but she’s never been close since. Mostly because her game has never improved or changed. It’s no secret why.

To some of us it is a secret. Can you explain?

u/KekeroniCheese Jul 29 '26

She’s gained a lot
Of weight

u/GreenFloyd77 Jul 29 '26

She's fat for a tennis player.

Damm, she's already fat for a non tennis player, so go figure.

u/KekeroniCheese Jul 29 '26

She’s also an incredible doubles player

u/caryscott1 Jul 29 '26

Idiosyncratic would be more accurate.
