Ouais c'était quelque chose, assez mal à l'aisant en fait, je me demandais si elle allait en venir aux coups. :crazy: Selon Hélène Pelletier qui apparemment fait de la lecture labiale, Serena aurait dit à la juge de ligne: "You see this ball, i could shove it down your throats""" :gla: Mais en effet ça semblait être dans le même ordre d'idée! :lol:
Mais je trouve ça bien dommage pour Kim Clisjters car ça vient ternir sa victoire, même si elle a gagné et aurait gagné ce match peu importe le drama, elle menait vraiment Serena tout au long de la rencontre. Vraiment chapeau à Clisjters elle a divinement bien joué !:top:

Bravo à Wosniacki qui passe aussi en finale! :clap:

Résumé écrit:

"Serena Williams
Saturday, September 12, 2009

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. To the best of your knowledge, what did you say to the lineswoman out there?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I said something that I guess they gave me a point penalty. Unfortunately it was on match point.

Q. What did you say?

SERENA WILLIAMS: What did I say? You didn't hear? Oh.

Q. What is your consideration of what the linesperson did? Obviously you had a problem with it.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, yeah. Clearly just ‑‑ in all year I don't ‑‑ I've never been foot faulted, and then suddenly in this tournament they keep calling foot faults.

I'm not saying I don't, but like ‑‑ I don't know. You know, I'm not going to sit here and make an excuse. If I foot fault, I did. It was what it was, and that's basically all it was.

Q. Do you think that the lineswoman had any reason to feel threatened? Apparently she says she felt threatened.

SERENA WILLIAMS: She says she felt threatened? She said this to you?

Q. I'm just repeating what has been said that she told the chair umpire.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I've never been in a fight in my whole life, so I don't know why she would have felt threatened.

Q. Is it your impression that the chair umpire called her to get her side of it, or did she volunteer her side of it to the chair umpire?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't know. I think she volunteered and went over there and said some things. I don't know. I wasn't there. I was getting ready for the next point.

Q. How devastated are you that a match of this caliber had to end that way?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, you know, I'm just clearly not happy, but it was ‑‑ I don't know. Like, I mean, obviously I wanted to fight.

I always fight when I'm down and keep going. I planned on hitting a couple of aces, but I guess it didn't work out.

Q. Kim looked absolutely stricken, too.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I don't think she understood maybe. I don't think she actually understood it was a point penalty, which meant that I lost that point, which meant that I lost the match.

So that was kind of the whole thing. And I think maybe the umpire should have said something.

Q. Did you say something to the umpire to be misconstrued as a threat? Did you say something to the linesperson that could be construed as a threat?

SERENA WILLIAMS: No, I didn't threaten. I didn't say ‑‑ I don't remember anymore, to be honest. I was in the moment. And, you know, everyone's fighting for every point. It was a really crucial point, 15‑30, actually.

And, you know, at that point you just kind of keep going.

Q. Did you realize when the linesperson went to the net and went to the chair umpire that you already had the violation from the first set and that this could mean a point penalty in the end of the match?

SERENA WILLIAMS: No, I didn't think I would get a point penalty. I didn't think about it. So, you know, I've been more positive on the court lately.

You know, today was a tough day. I didn't play my best. I kind of felt like I had more errors today I think than all my matches combined.

And it was just ‑‑ it was just really tough for me out there.

Q. What degree do you think this taints defeat?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I don't think it does. I think that Kim played really well, and I think she came out with a really big plan. I think that, you know, the next time we play I'll know a little bit more about her game, what to expect, and, you know, what to do.

Q. Do you regret losing your temper though both after the first set and after the foot fault?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I haven't really thought about it to have any regrets. I try to ‑‑ I've done ‑‑ you know, I try not to live my life saying, I wish, I wish. But, you know, I was out there and I fought and I tried and I did my best.

Q. To what extent do you think maybe the weather and maybe uncertainty of the matches contributed to you maybe losing your temper?

SERENA WILLIAMS: What? That's like the craziest question I ever heard. Weather make you lose your temper? Usually if it's hot you lose your temper, not when it's cold. Come on.

Q. Did it affect your focus?

SERENA WILLIAMS: No, it didn't necessarily affect my focus. I'm a really, really intense player, and I always have been. I mean, my idol is John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova, so ‑‑ and Monica Seles, actually. It's kind of a big mixture.

But I just am a really intense person, and I give 200% in everything I do, whether I'm playing tennis or whether I am doing something else. I just go for it.

Q. You've always prided yourself on being an extremely forthright player, and with us here in the press room. Could you tell us what you said on court, please?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't think that's necessary for me to speak about that. I've let it go, and I'm trying to better ‑‑ to, you know, to get ‑‑ to move on.

Q. On court it was picked up where you said, I would never say such‑and‑such to you.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Because I think she said I would kill you, and I was like, What? I was like, Wait a minute.

But then I had misheard. She had never said that. So that was just something ‑‑ I was like, Whoa. Because I was like, Wait a minute. Let's not ‑‑ because I'm not that way. So.

She was like, No, I didn't say that. She said something else. I said, Oh, okay. I get it. And I was totally fine, because at that point I realized I got a point penalty and it was match point.

What can I do? I'm not going to complain. It was what it was.

Q. What did she say you said?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I don't know. Like I said, I wasn't there. I was actually at the baseline preparing my serve, and I think maybe she went to the umpire at that point. Actually I didn't even see her walk over to the umpire, so I have no idea what she did.

Q. Are you surprised what a high level Kim plays after being out of the game for two and a half years? You know her from before.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, no, I think that ‑‑ I mean, I wasn't surprised, because I saw her play I think in Cincinnati, and she played incredible. I thought, wow, you know, this is someone to watch out for.

I think it's really good to have her back on the tour. Maybe we can get together and have some calming lessons.

Q. Kim seemed not to want the match to end that way. What did she say to you when you went up to shake hands?

SERENA WILLIAMS: She said she was sorry, and I was like, it wasn't her fault. It was just a point penalty, just at a bad time, basically.

So I just said, Good luck.

Q. What did Venus have to say for you after the match?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Oh, you know, I don't ‑‑ that was between me and V.

Q. Do you feel like others have been more angry in tennis matches and not lost them on a code violation?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Absolutely. You know, I'm not ‑‑ I feel like there's been ‑‑ you know, I was watching lots of matches just because of all the rain coverage. There have been a lot of things out there, a lot of arguments in the past. And, you know, they unfortunately ‑‑ well, fortunately didn't lose the match.

But, you know, I just ‑‑ like I said, you know, things always ‑‑ I don't know. It's fine. I'm moving on.

Q. How will you look back on this, Serena? How will you look back on this match and the way it ended?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Um, I haven't had a chance to think about it. I feel that I could have played better again. I feel that Kim played an incredible match, and, you know, she definitely came out with a plan. I'm glad I got a chance to play, because now I know what to expect and what to do and what to work on.

I think there's so many things that I can do on the court to actually do better, so that's why I can think about what I can do better and learn from it, which I think is actually exciting.

Q. Just to follow on this, how much of your body language on the court, you know, played a part in her thinking otherwise on what happened out there today?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Honestly, I don't understand your question, and I'm sorry. I just didn't... I couldn't relate to it.

Q. Let me ask the question like this: If you were to do anything different than what happened out on the court, what would you do?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I think I would come to the net a little bit more. I think I didn't play aggressive enough tennis, and I would try not to make any errors. I didn't ‑‑ I wasn't at my A game or B game today, so that's what I would do different.

Q. Your book talks so much about how you've learned from different experiences and really advanced your life. Aside from the X and is Os of strokes, what do you think you'll learn from this situation?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, I think that I'll learn that, you know, it pays to always play your best and always be your best and always act your best no matter what.

And I think that I'm, you know, I'm young and I feel like in life everyone has to have experience that they take and that they learn from, and I think that's great that I have an opportunity to still be physically fit to go several more years and learn from the past.

I like to learn from the past, live in the present, and not make the same mistakes in the future.

Q. Who actually informed you? Was it the umpire who informed you of the point penalty?

SERENA WILLIAMS: No, it was ‑‑ is it ‑‑ it was Brian Earley who said I had a point penalty. I was like, Okay, wait. That means the match. And so it was him that informed me.

Q. Do you think it was an unfair decision apart from when it happened?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Um, the system ‑‑ the system goes if you have a code violation, then I guess the next one ‑‑ well, usually goes warning, then ‑‑ I don't know. Whatever.

So I guess I was at the next stage, and I just think it was at a bad time.

Q. You seemed to let go very quickly right after the match. Being the last point, match point, does that have anything to do with if it wasn't the match point you still would have been able to let go of it so quickly? That was pretty impressive when you think about it.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Absolutely. And I appreciate you saying that. But if I ‑‑ you know, it was a situation where ‑‑ I lost my train of thought. Can you repeat that question?

Q. You were able to let go of the emotions. You're very calm now. It was, Hey, you know, you lost.

SERENA WILLIAMS: I try to be really professional. I think Kim played a wonderful match, and I think I played good, too. I think I could have played better, and I actually feel like I can go home and I can actually do better, which I'm really excited about.

There's someone out there that makes me want to go home and makes me want to work out and makes me want to run and do better. I can't wait to do that. I think that when I was down, you know, what was I ‑‑ I'm not the beggar, like, Please, please, let me have another chance, because it was the rules, and I play by the rules.

If I get hit, I say I got hit, you know. I play by the rules. That's what it was.

Q. How do you think Kim is playing in comparison to how she played before she retired?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I, um, live in the moment a little too much. I don't quite remember how she played before she retired, but I think now she's playing incredible. I remember her being a wonderful mover, and she's moving really well now, as well. So I think she's ‑‑ I don't know.

Q. Do you think the lineswoman deserves an apology?

SERENA WILLIAMS: An apology for?

Q. From you.

SERENA WILLIAMS: From me?

Q. For the yelling and what you said.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, how many people yell at linespeople? So I think, you know, if you look at ‑‑ I don't know. All the people that, you know, kind of yell at linespeople, I think it's ‑‑ kind of comes sometimes. Players, athletes get frustrated. I don't know how many times I've seen that happen.

Q. How does this compare to seeing the tiebreaker count get lost at Wimbledon?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, this is no comparison to that. That was completely absurd. It wasn't Venus at fault at all. This was a point where I had a point penalty just on match point.

Q. If you could say something now to that linesperson, what would you say now that you've calmed down and had a chance to think about what happened?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, yeah, I haven't quite thought about that yet, and, you know, maybe I'll see her.

Q. Have you ever had a point penalty before?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Um, I'm not quite sure. Have I, do you think?

I used to have a real temper, and I've gotten a lot better. So I know you don't believe me, but I used to be worse. Yes, yes, indeed.

Q. How many times were you called for a foot fault during this tournament?

SERENA WILLIAMS: A lot. I mean, compared to all year? A lot. I haven't been called for a foot fault all year until I got to New York, so maybe when I come to this tournament I have to step two feet back.

Q. Would you be interested to see if you actually foot faulted?

SERENA WILLIAMS: I'm pretty sure I did. If she called a foot fault, she must have seen a foot fault. I mean, she was doing her job. I'm not going to knock her for not doing her job.

Maintenant le résumé de l'entrevue d'après-match de Kim Clijsters:

TIM CURRY: Couple points of business before we start. We will be releasing a statement from the tournament shortly after this press conference.

Also, Kim will be doing her press conference in English here, and then we'll move her across the hall for the Flemish portion.

Q. Welcome back to women's tennis. This has got to be the most shocking end to a match you've ever had.

KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, I mean, it's unfortunate that a match that I was playing so well at to end that way. You know, obviously, yeah, I still ‑‑ to this point I'm a little confused about what happened out there, and, um, just because I was so focused. You know, just trying to win that last point for me.

So then things ended up ending a little bit different than I expected.

Q. Your comeback has really given a lot of joy and pleasure to a lot of people watching. Does the way this ended take the joy out of tomorrow's match potentially?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Out of tomorrow's match?

Q. Yeah.

KIM CLIJSTERS: No, not at all. Maybe a little out of today's match just because, you know, you want to finish that last point, kind of, especially when you hit ‑‑ like I was seeing the ball really well, I was hitting well, and I was really focused.

I think, yeah, that's what ‑‑ just trying to be focused on that last point. And to win it, that's a great feeling to have. It's a little bit unfortunate that I didn't have that, but it's not going to take anything away from tomorrow's match or how special that would be for me, and for both of us.

Q. Congratulations, Kim.

KIM CLIJSTERS: Same colors, right? (laughter.)

Q. Ah, where are we here? (Laughter.)

KIM CLIJSTERS: Sorry.

Q. Oh, my. Goodness gracious. You had only beaten her once out of eight tries.

KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah.

Q. Did you have a feeling during the match, my God, I am playing well?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Not at the time, but, you know, again, I was just so focused on trying to just play well each point and not worrying about when she started lifting her game a little bit or when she started hitting a lot more first serves in or a few more aces.

Trying not to let it get to me and trying to focus on making the next return and working your way into the point and into the game a little bit.

So at the time, you don't think ‑‑ obviously you know, okay. I'm having good feeling out there tonight. That's a great feeling to have, but you're not constantly telling yourself, like, It's going good.

Because if you keep saying that, then I think then you can start to like lose that focus a little bit early. You just have to really stay positive out there, and just, yeah, like I said, fight for each point and try not to have those dips that I maybe had, you know, in Cincinnati, Toronto, where you played ‑‑ where I played some good tennis, but then also a few against a few players I lost a few games here and there because I lost focus a little bit.

That's something that today I just really tried to, yeah, just to keep doing, was that I just stayed in there even when I was down breakpoints. I really just took my time and just, you know, played one point at a time.

Q. It seems as if there is a little something, that it's taken a little off of what you should be feeling right now because of this win. But you played so well. Do you think it will be a short time until you can finally say, Hey, I probably would have won the match anyway?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Well, I'll never say that, because a match is never played ‑‑ well, you can write it, but...

Q. I'm radio, but...

KIM CLIJSTERS: Oh, sorry. (laughter.)

No, but that feeling, again, like I just said before, when you play that last point, whether it is a winner or by mistake from your opponent, you know, it's a great feeling to have, especially that's how it usually goes.

So, yeah, the normal feelings of winning a match weren't quite there. But, um, I think afterwards when everything kind of sunk in a little bit and got explained to me about what happened, yeah, you kind of have to put it all in place, and then it becomes a little bit easier to understand and to kind of not celebrate, but at least have a little bit of joy after a match like that.

Q. You've always been an excellent player, but you've got to be at least a bit surprised that you reached the final of your first Grand Slam?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Yes, very much so.

Q. Can you talk a little bit about that?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, I mean, again, I've spoken before about what for me was really important in Cincinnati and Toronto and those tournaments was knowing that I was capable of competing with those top girls.

I think that's where I kind of made a click, but I never really excited to be beating Venus and beating Serena. You try and you try to bring your best tennis, but, no, I mean, you don't expect things to be going this well this soon.

That's why I, knock wood, just try to really stay focused and not lose, yeah, not lose my rhythm that I've been having over these last two and a half, almost three weeks that we've been here. Just trying to keep that going until the whole tournament is finished.

Q. She was very clear that she felt that you were playing better and that you were going to win that match. Did she say anything like that when she came over to you? Does that make you feel better about it at all?

KIM CLIJSTERS: She just said, Good luck. I hope you win. You know, we always got along well, and I think just unfortunate that a battle like that has to end like that. So, again, yeah, just unfortunate.

Q. This is the second time you're sort of an innocent bystander when she has a sort of controversial moment out there. Did that flash in your mind?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Not at the time, but, yeah, when I was upstairs and, you know, doing ‑‑ you know, running afterwards and stretching, yeah, I mean, you kind of wonder, you know, what is it with our matches?

Yeah. But then again, I mean, it's a completely different situation.

Q. Despite the fact that you were focused and you played your exceptionally well, but how much of what happened on the court today, were you surprised by any of it at all? Did you hear anything that Serena said? Were you also surprised by the extent by which the decision was made to like end the game?

KIM CLIJSTERS: To be honest with you, I didn't even want to be involved, just because in my mind I was still focused. Okay, Kim, don't lose focus. You still need to win this last point here. I just tried to stay away against the back of the court and tried to stay away from everything.

Then all of a sudden, I didn't even hear, you know, anybody talking or anything or them talking to each other. I just, like I said, tried to stay away and tried not to lose focus or not to lose my concentration on trying to finish that match.

Q. But were you taken aback by her body language and her frustration, especially in the first set when she broke her racquet?

KIM CLIJSTERS: I didn't see it. I heard it.

Q. You didn't see it?

KIM CLIJSTERS: No, I didn't see her break the racquet, obviously, but I heard it. I heard the racquet being cracked. It's not like I'm looking at her doing it.

No, because you're so focused. You're kind of in your own bubble when you're out there. So you don't, yeah, you don't see it. I mean, I heard the racquet break a couple of times. (laughter.)

But, yeah.

Q. You're playing now the final against Caroline, a player which when you took your break two and a half years ago was not very well known. Now she's top 10 player even before the tournament, and she's played unbelievable, great, solid. She's 19 years old and in her first Grand Slam. So give your memories when you played your first Grand Slam, and what do you think about her?

KIM CLIJSTERS: To be honest with you, when I played an exhibition game in Hong Kong, I think it was the start of 2006 in my last year, she was ‑‑ you know, we played doubles together. She was like the ‑‑ she got a wildcard into the event as a new upcomer, young girl, so she must have been 16 at that time.

Just by the way she was hitting the ball, by the way that she was doing everything I think around the tennis was ‑‑ you could just tell, you know, that she was going to be, you know, a rising star. You know, she's shown that in her results. She's very consistent. You know, she's a super nice girl, as well. I've been able to get to know her a little bit better. I knew her a little bit from the past, but then got to know her a little bit better over these past couple of weeks. She's a very sweet girl.

Going back to your question about my first Grand Slam was at the French Open. Yeah, when you're so young, I mean, I can only speak for myself, but thinking back of the Jennifer Capriati final, I still can't remember a lot of things about it. I must have just been ‑‑ yeah, it was so much to take in all of a sudden, and it happened so fast.

So it was, yeah, again, I mean, just by watching the video and everything I can kind of remember situations, but I mean, it was very ‑‑ it's a very special moment that first, you know, Grand Slam final.

Q. You've mentioned the good relationship you've always had with Serena, but what do you make of threatening language that she apparently used toward the linesperson?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Again, I didn't hear it, so I can't sit here and comment on what she said or what she didn't say. So again, I don't think it's my place here right now to be commenting on that, just because I didn't hear it.

If she would have been talking to me it would have been a lot easier to comment on it.

Q. What do you feel for her, having concluded the match this way?

KIM CLIJSTERS: I mean, the timing is unfortunate, you know. To get a point penalty at the time, it's unfortunate. But there are rules, and you know, like I said, it's just unfortunate that it has to happen on a match point.

Q. Is there any time when you were just about coming back that you thought, am I doing the right thing, or is this going to work or am I going to embarrass myself or maybe I shouldn't be doing this?

KIM CLIJSTERS: No, I never ‑‑ once I decided that I was going to really go for it, it was already in my mind for like ten days or so, so it's not that feeling or that idea came up, and I immediately like took it, like took it and started working on trying to get back.

I mean, you know, I tried to push it aside a few times just to see, Is that feeling coming back and is the motivation just to play exhibitions, is that going to be enough for me? And just, you know, ten days or even two weeks, I just tried to keep hitting and...

But then, yeah, that feeling just became stronger. So then I knew, Okay, this is what I'm going to try to do.

But then again, not at that time obviously. Then a couple months went by just to see, Okay, what is possible? What's not possible? And I didn't know if there were limitations by the tour or anything. So I just kind of had to work my way into just getting a lot of things explained to me and everything.

To me, it was really clear, Okay, this is going to be our plan and the schedule for this year. So it took a little while.

Q. Did you hear the umpire say game, set and match, Kim Clijsters?

KIM CLIJSTERS: No, I didn't even hear anything. I was just so surprised and shocked all of a sudden to see Serena walking over to me, and it just ‑‑ yeah, again, I just tried to stay out of it, so that ‑‑ you know, because in my mind I was still focused on trying to finish the match there, and so I really didn't want to get into any, you know, I didn't want to get to let anything into my mind. So sorry.

Q. Japanese player who used to play doubles with you is going to retire, so could you give any comments on her?

KIM CLIJSTERS: I know. Ai told me actually a few weeks ago already that she was going to ‑‑ this was going to be her last Grand Slam. It's sad. She's been such a mentor for me in a lot of different ways. Her mother, as well.

I think it was, you know, when my dad and I were traveling and everything, you know, we got along so well with them. Went out to dinner together. Just very, very special. Very warm people. She really helped me make my game better, just by at a young age being able to play with someone who had so much experience.

I was able to practice with her. She's a girl who will always give 200% even if she's not feeling well or if she injuries or anything, she'll always give 200%. Some of my best practice sessions have been with her.

Over the years, even still now, to my coach now, I still talk about that, how special it was to be able to hit with her when I was 15, 16 and to be able to play doubles with her. And then doing so well in doubles and winning a couple of Grand Slams, you know, was really special.

Just you kind of become a little family on your own when you're out there on tour. So it was, yeah, when I heard it, I was like, Oh, no, because I'm back now and you kind of want to enjoy it a little bit together.

But, you know, she's had a really, you know, very consistent and a very, professional career. I think she's been ‑‑ I mean, I know that she does a lot of things outside of tennis, as well. She has her, what do you call it? Rubber bands for the hair and everything. Like she has that going for her and she has a lot of stores.

But she likes to really just do a lot of different things. She's going to be missed. I think she always is laughing, as well. That's something that was nice to see on tour with her.

Q. First of all, are you feeling a little strange that you're an underdog in the semis and you're a favorite in the finals? And second of all, do you think retirement would be this exciting?

KIM CLIJSTERS: Ah, um, again, I think answering the underdog question, when you're out there, you don't think about that at all, actually. You just try to focus and try to just play each point, because you know out there every match has to be played and every match can be won.

So I'm sure that she's, my opponent tomorrow Caroline Wozniacki, is going to think the same way. So again we start out there 50/50. We'll see what happens then. What was the second part?

Q. Retirement being this exciting.

KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, I'm very happy with the way that everything has been, you know, because a lot of things changed for me in those two years when I was absent.

I'm super happy that I was able to do a lot of those things that happened that year. So, yeah, I'm just glad that, you know, I'm doing well now. Just, you know, I'm thinking today and then whatever is next tomorrow, not look back too far.

J'ai illico mais il n'apparaît pas dans la liste de postes que je peux sélectionner quand je veux faire un changement de châines, ça se peut? :??:

Je n'ai rien vu du match Del Potro - Nadal, mais très déçue qu'il se soit fait sortir. Del Potro l'a éliminé assez facilement merci: 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.

Normalement il devrait y être! Je comprends pas trop!

Pour le match en effet, Del Potro était vraiment trop fort, son coup droit était juste monstrueux aujourd'hui, il a remporté une quantité incroyable de ses points grâce à celui-ci!!

Il méritait bien sa victoire même si je suis déçu! :lol:

T'as raison j'ai été trop vite par après j'ai regardé mon dépliant et vu le RIS en tout petit. Donc normalement quand RDS ne diffuse pas un match y a de bonnes chances que RIS le diffuse? Et est-ce Ponto et Pelletier (ta meilleure ) qui commentent?

Pour Serena, pendant le foootball tantôt ils ont montré un extrait d'hier soir et Hélène Pelletier avait raison, elle dit vraiment que si elle pouvait elle prendrait la balle et lui enfoncerait au fond de la gorge! :gla: :sarcastic:

Ce que je trouve dommage c'est qu'elle n'a même pas l'honneur de s'excuser en conférence de presse et admettre qu'elle a commis une grave erreur!

J'ai toujours aimé Serena, mais là j'avoue que ça m'a amèrement déçu! :/

Même chose oui! :)

C'est comme le TSN2 de TSN finalement! Alors il n'est pas rare effectivement que RIS vont diffuser des évènements sportifs si il y a un truc plus important à la programmation principale de RDS! :)

Oui effectivement Hélène avait raison j'ai revu l'extrait, mais en + elle y ajoute des "fucking" à tout bout de champ. En effet la juge de ligne a bien fait d'aller voir le chair umpire pour rapporter les propos de Serena, on s'entend que c'est inacceptable et que c'est des menaces ouvertes. Elle était tellement nonchalante et baveuse en conférence de presse, c'est en vraiment déconcertant. :sarcastic: Je n'enlève pas que c'est une excellente joueuse, mais avec une attitude de merde. Elle mériterait une couple de claques. :boum:

Merci pour l'info sur RIS! :) Très contente de savoir ça, comme je ne peux pas avoir TS2, ça sera un bon compromis. :)

Tennis – US Open

Clijsters : « Ça ne faisait pas partie du plan… »

Image

Eric Salliot (RMC Sport) - RMC.fr, le 14/09/2009

Victorieuse d’un tournoi du Grand Chelem un an et demi après avoir donné naissance à son premier enfant, la Belge ne s’attendait pas à un succès aussi rapide.

Que ressentez-vous après cette victoire ?

C’est n’est que mon troisième tournoi depuis mon retour et je gagne le second tournoi du Grand Chelem de ma carrière (US Open 2005, ndlr). C’est incroyable, parce que ça ne faisait pas partie du plan. Je voulais juste venir ici et voir comment je me sentais avant l’année prochaine. Mais j’ai sauté plusieurs étapes. Manifestement, je me suis bien senti. C’est un sentiment très agréable mais aussi assez troublant à beaucoup de niveaux, parce que c’est venu très rapidement. Je suis vraiment ravie d’avoir partagé ça avec mon mari, mon équipe et bien sûr ma fille.

Si on vous avait appelé il y a dix-huit mois, après votre accouchement, pour vous annoncer que vous gagneriez l’US Open, qu’auriez-vous répondu ?

Mon envie est revenue en début d’année. Il y a dix-huit mois, le tennis ne faisait vraiment plus partie de mes préoccupations. Je venais de devenir maman et j’allais découvrir de nouvelles expériences. Elles m’ont apporté beaucoup de plaisir. Je vous aurais très certainement raccroché au nez. Désolée.

« Maintenant, je sais comment réagir face aux émotions »

Votre fille Jada était présente lors de la remise du trophée. A-t-elle compris ce qui se passait autour d’elle ?

Non. Elle est trop jeune. Mais c’était amusant de la voir se pointer du doigt sur l’écran géant. Avec Brian (son mari, ndlr), on était beaucoup plus nerveux qu’elle, vous savez. Mais la présence de tous les photographes est une bonne chose. Je pourrais peut-être garder quelques images.

En quoi la Kim Clijsters de 2007 est-elle différente de celle d’aujourd’hui ?

Je sais comment réagir face aux émotions. Quand vous êtes jeune, vous devenez nerveuse quand des choses comme ça arrivent. J’ai par exemple battu Venus Williams en huitième de finale. Peut-être que dans le passé, je me serais laissé influencée par ce bon résultat. J’aurais sans doute été moins concentrée pendant les tours suivants. Il en est de même avec ce qui s’est passé avec Serena Williams en demi-finale (pénalisée après une faute de pied, l’Américaine s’est emportée contre la juge de touche, ndlr). Quand vous avez 18 ou 19 ans, ce genre d’épisode peut avoir un grand impact sur vous. Aujourd’hui, j’ai l’expérience pour gérer ce genre de choses. Je me connais un peu mieux et ça m’a aidé. La principale différence, c’est que je me connais beaucoup mieux qu’il y a quelques années.

Ouais enfin un match excitant et hyper serré! Même que Del Potro mène une belle avance de 4-1 en 5e manche. J'aimerais bien que Del Potro gagne moi aussi. J'ai beau bien aimé Federer, il me le mériterait ce Del Potro, et c'est le fun d'en voir gagner d'autres desfois! Hey, les 5 derniers Us Open, c'tassez là! :crazy:
4-2 maintenant. Mais maudit, j'ai quand même bien peur que Federer reprenne son retard, après tout c'est Federer...
