Sloan winning the point when she tried to hit her is so funny
🤣😅😂
NA that was BOSS bitch behaviour.
That was barely a "tried to hit her". If she wanted to really hit her, she could have and would have.
@@senorgato70 she tried and failed. She literally said she tried to hit her in the stomach
It is not funny. It shows how the rules are different when color is involved. This woman physically tried to fight Sloane and had to be restrained. She didn't lose a penalty point, she didn't receive a warning, she didn't receive a fine, she didn't default the match. If that had been Serena Williams, she would have been disqualified for inappropriate behavior. It is not funny. It is actually sad.
I’m glad the commentator even noticed that she purposely tried to hit Stephens,
Serena lost a match for behaving inappropriately. This woman was not fined, lost a point or match. Now she is here laughing at it. This is shameful
@Kevin Harris did you see the video? Who called who a fu*#$ bit*#?
@@kevinharris3993 If Sloane was white coloured and Paulyuchenkova black coloured would you have the same opinion?.
Russian aggressive. When she drink vodka break everything.
@@kevinharris3993 it's allowed to hit your opponent with the ball during the match, why she needs to be fined? But it's not allowed to call your opponent fckn bitch, so Sloane needs to ger a fine
The fact that so many comments are ignoring 0:57 where Pavlyuchenkova admits to walking over to Sloane's side to yell at her, with the intent to strike her with a racquet, is very telling. Sloane in no way started this altercation.
See what I am talking about.
@Joyce Williams im super left leaning but to make this about race is just pure ignorance on your part. Naïve much?
this whole thing is pretty upsetting , Sloan never crossed physical boundaries nor did she use any form of physical intimidation, to think Pavlyuchenkova had a right or was justified to want to use physical force is ridiculous, I really did not appreciate how they shared laughs about wanting to hit her with a racquet that is serious stuff … 😤 I’m not a fan of this interview , and in the end it is totally about race , watch the exchange on mute (so it’s nothing but body language) and tell me who was wrong
@@SamStar486 " and in the end it is totally about race , watch the exchange on mute (so it’s nothing but body language) and tell me who was wrong" Let's say Pavlyuchenkova is wrong. How do we go from this to "it is totally about race"? A white person was at fault therefore it's racism?
@@rvNui because in the video everyone is attacking Stephens when she’s not doing anything … why are they talking to her when the other player is the one being aggressive and crossing physical boundaries by coming on Stephens side of the net , Stephens is no threat whatsoever yet she’s the one getting the most reprimand 🙄 of course it’s about race but if you can’t see that than there’s no point to wasting anymore time with you on this issue
I can't imagine everyone taking it with stride had Sloane said she gets aggressive and felt like smacking Pav with a racket. How bizarre
Oh you already KNOW Sloane would be painted as some "angry, aggressive Blk woman who threatened to kill Pav" 🙄🙄
All the crazy white racist people would have taken their anger of Serena on Sloan
@@nujeru99 you mean like when Serena Williams threatened to shove a tennis ball down the throat of, and kill a line judge...why would anyone think that lol
@@brucesmith1544 And the internet acted like she had invaded another country.
@@rimun5235 I know, they even made an award winning movie about her and her family...just like a war criminal lol
This is a televised interview where the player said she was trying to hit the other player with the smash and the interviewer laughs and says, I love tennis. TF am I watching here?
Huh? You've never seen athletes in interviews saying they hated x player and or tried to get physical with them at some point? You don't watch a lot of sport interviews then. This happens, they both moved on and got along later on as it seems
@@wonderlandian8465 I do watch spots and that's why I know there's a difference between playing physical and aiming a tennis ball/baseball/basketball/hockey pock at another player's face. What she said she was trying to do and what the interviewer found so funny was actually criminal.
east euro TV bruh!
@@shabzone to quote alize cornet, "it's a way to win a point!" In tennis you aim low or put the ball away which is what she did
@@sludgebob5961 yeah but her tactic didn't work. Sloane won the point.
OH. MY. GOD. Pure tennis drama GOLD!!! 🥰
😂
Tsk tsk
I love tennis drama lol
Spoiled cry babies
In conclusion neither a injury time out or calling her coach during changeovers could help her beat Sloane lol.
So what? Stephens showed shes the real immature by the way she insulted her opponent. You are just as ridiculous as those gringos commentators saying anastasia should have aimed somewhere else on the overhead
@@lobomalsano so you think a verbal assault is bad on Sloanes part, but a vengeful physical attack is okay? Just because it’s legal to aim at your opponent? It wasn’t a tactical play, it was pure shitty class on Anastasias part as well..
@@black_nebula there was no physical attack from Anastasia,she only asked what the problem,becaurce Sloane made remarks about her. Both players have no problem with each other,Anastasia even sayed that Sloane is a very friendly person
In conclusion Scone stephens is such a b and bad player that she tried with verbal provocation to win match. And succeeded only because of that.... Sad girl.
@@gosponante2199 yeah, okay 💀
The fact that she thought trying to hurt someone is funny?
@Joyce Williams Well how about you let some of the best tennis players in the world hit you directly in your stomach with a tennis ball. And we’ll see if your opinion stays the same.
@Joyce Williams says the person who'd be saying the complete opposite if....meh whatever
@Joyce Williams Obviously you've never been hit by a tennis ball going over 100 MPH in the face or, even worse, in the eye.
@Joyce Williams , It's a racket ---not a ball, she wanted to "smack her with".
In Russia it is. Sad country
At least in the end they had a proper handshake were able to talk to each other. I wish the world can resolve our issues like this too..
If Stephens lost she wouldn't have been as civil
@@JumpinJakalopes and you know this because??
@@Isaac-nm2pv Human nature
That's because Sloane is a kind, forgiving person who didn't deserve to be treated that way. Pavly is a miserable WITCH. I never would've shaken her hand again
What? It is not resolving it at all why would Stephens like her now for no reason.... It is doing the right thing, just being civil..
She gets away with admitting to trying to assault Sloane on two occasions and everyone overlooks it as nothing. Let that had been Sloane!!! This sh*t is so telling.
That very old saying, "white is white, black get back
Sick russian mentality.
@@aejooh2815 you can take them outta the ghetto...
Sloane has said some nasty shit and gets away with it
@@secrets.295 who cares what someone says this woman just admitted to trying to hit a fellow player and there is no outrage like there was for Angel Reese a few months ago
How is she mad b/c Sloane cussed her when she tried to hit her in the rally…she lost that point and the match..and the verbal war..take the 3 L’s and move on lol! ..I actually am a fan of AP but you lost this one 😂
💯
So what? Stephens showed shes the real immature by the way she insulted her opponent. You are just as ridiculous as those gringos commentators saying anastasia should have aimed somewhere else on the overhead
@@lobomalsano sad tears. Move along
@@lobomalsano it was intentional, Anastasia even said she tried to hit her. So who’s immature now? Get a grip and a clue. The evidence is right in front of you.
Oh look blacks defending Scone stephens who won match purely because she verbally provoked on 5-4 ,which was uncalled and won match because of that. Its sad how that girl Will use any trick to win match.
2:59 Pav says she tried to smash an overhead into her stomach and the interviewer laughs and jokes. Pathetic people!
Yes really sad.this is not what sportsmanship is about, especially not tennis
awwwww maybe they should ask you your pronouns
Pavlyuchenkova: walks over during the argument with the intent to hit Stephens, then attempts to actually hit Sloane during play* Also Pavlyuchenkova: “she called me a b***h” Yeah no shit Sherlock.
Russia...
I think you're confusing "intent to" with "feeling like" [hitting her], I think Sloane's insinuations that Pav didn't really need a medical break is outrageous and extremely provocative!
Why was SLoane all yapping about someone who was injured and getting treatment. It was really childish and then Pav got pissed and it escalated even more and then Pav was out of line. I am sure if the roles were reversed she would of been pissed.
Stephens started everything
@@goxyeagle8446 PURE BS....
Great exchange after the game, very professional
I so remember this OMG! Thanks! 😆
Stephens shouldn’t have made such a fuss, but all I’m seeing in Pavlyuchenkova is a nasty, aggressive person who can’t channel her anger appropriately. Being the bigger person would make her tough - stating that she wanted to hit Stephens with her racket and that she intentionally smashed a ball at her is not tough, it’s malicious.
I'm an American who stands with Pavy.
It’s also sport and a perfectly viable strategy.
@@AinSoph73 You’ve just watched this video and you honesty think Pavlyuchenkova smashed a ball at Stephens “strategically”? I’m well aware of the rules, but this isn’t someone hitting a passing shot at a player to win a point. She did it through anger with the sole intention of hitting her which is not ok. Do you not remember Shapovalov destroying someone’s eye with a tennis ball when he was angry? And that was an accident! If Pav had actually hit Sloane’s stomach with a smash from less than a few metres away (as she was intending to) it could have caused a serious injury.
Well, she's not politically correct. However I think she was exxagerating and something got a little bit lost in translation. Pavlychenkova was right on the court. Stephens should not have acted like that.
@@milvao3400 Stephens should not have acted how, exactly? I see many players calling out very suspect medicals, because many humans are cheats, we all know it, and with a lot at stake many resort to very dishonest behaviour. It happens all the time in tennis, players calling a medical hoping to break the opponent's momentum and are suddenly 100%. Stephens\players have the right to address it to the umpire and if it is said loudly enough for the opponent to hear then that's just too bad. Not only did her opponent displayed a guilty conscience, but knowing Stephens called her out she then proceeded to deliberately smash balls at her to hit her and revealed that in that moment she harboured desires in her heart to do physical harm to her opponent on the court. All these things are not coming from a nice place and hang together as the actions of a cheat who gets nasty when called out. I say this as a fan of neither of the players, but only as one viewing this incident for the first time.
I like Ladies Tennis because they don't hide their emotions. In fact they were ready to fight.
so u like emotional childish outbursts
@@alivensyde5484 nothing childish about expressing yourself instead of hiding your feelings.
Greeting to all. I wanted to make a couple of key clarifications for the people who are not experienced tennis players themselves. 1.Overhead in tennis is a pretty wonky shot. Especially if you are way inside the court, you oftentimes just want to hit it hard, roughly into the middle of the opponent's court, regardless of where the opponent is; there are too many things that can go wrong and you want to concentrate on executing the shot properly rather than on avoiding hitting the player. If you are in the position where you don't want to risk getting hit, you just turn around and give up on the point - that's all. In fact, there are situations (usually when you are somewhere in the vicinity of the service line and your opponent is guarding the net), where the best play is actually to go right at the player; in this case you want to aim at the right hip if they are right-handed, which would make for the most difficult volley. It you try to pass, there is always a chance of a reflex volley winner and, in the aforementioned situation, you want to take that option away from the opponent at the net and ignore the invariable boos from unsophisticated spectators. 2. The subtitle "I was going to hit her with the racket" is a horrible translation, as it implies intent where there was none. You can run it through google translate or ask someone who has studied slavic linguistics. What she actually said was "I THOUGHT I WOULD hit her with the racket", meaning that N.P. , who had developed a shoulder injury and who is not known for "abusing" the medical timeout rule, was so outraged about what she knew to be an unjust accusation that she was not sure she'd be able to control herself. It was also a strange spectacle to see her so worked up and break down mentally, being one of the more balanced and collected girls out there. As one wise player told me long time ago - tennis is game of cool. The one who stays coolest wins in this game. LOL.
boy bye, she herself literally said she is known for being aggressive. She was being aggressive and wanted to hit her so bye
There's nothing like a victory to calm one down.
i know right but bet if stephens lost that 3rd set she would go on witchin and wouldn't have made peace. losin is one thing but losin thinkin that she lost it because of the russian's "sportsmanship" is another
They both seemed all good at the end of the match which is as it should be as tennis professionals. I don't understand AP wanting to address this in an interview after the fact though.
bet if stephens lost that 3rd set she would go on witchin and wouldn't have made peace. losin is one thing but losin thinkin that she lost it because of the russian's "sportsmanship" is another
She was asked about It and responded honestly, i think that shows that she Let go on the past, if she was still bitter she wouldve avoided the question without adressing her mental state at the moment
@@diegosotomiranda4107 nope.. if she lost that 3rd set , she would be a witch trust me and woulda hollered to anastasia at the end of the match while shakin hands, "YOU'RE SO UNPROFESSIONAL DRAMA QUEEN" LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOOOO ONE WOULD EVER STEP TO VENUS OR SERENA LIKE THAT PERRRRIODT!!! SLOANE HANDLED HER WITH SWEET SARCASM THO, I'M GLAD THEY WORKED IT OUT!
Yep she wouldnt even dare doing that to Serena 🤣🤣
@@theeachuisge Yes they would
Yes they would
@anthonypuccetti8779 RIIIIIIIGHT!!! I GUESS YOU MISSED THE TIME A GUY WALKED OOF WITH SERENAS PHONE AT A RESTAURANT AND SHE WENT AFTER HIS A.S AND GOT HER PHONE BACK! YOU NEED TO JUST SHUT IT UP BECAUSE U TALKIN SHYT FOR A REACTION! AND I GAVE IT TO U SO HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!
neither player backing down, both willing to smash each other to pieces to win then the mutual respect at the end, when they realise they both feel exactly the same way this stuff is my favourite thing about tennis in particular and sports in general
really? bet if stephens lost that 3rd set she would be witchin continous
Yes But tennis fans are such prudes that any human reaction scares them and take them like the biggest sin ever, they even bitch about underarm Serves lol, anything bothers them, i guess they would faint watching football fights xD
The best part is when they shook hands & acknowledged each other at the end ❤️👍
Because that's how tennis works. They don't need to love each other to do that, in fact, she must not love sb who wanted to hit her anyway.
I really like how Pavs is super honest. Admitting her own behaviors. And she is really joyful to watch. They both are.
Agreed!
I hate that Sloane apologised, she shouldn't have done that, just on the fact alone of Ana aiming the overhead ball directly at her, nevermind the Ana disrespecting her with a call for the physio
"nevermind the Ana disrespecting her with a call for the physio". Your bias is ridiculous. It's not Sloane who disrespected Pavlyuchenkova by accusing her of faking an injury, but the russian by calling for a trainer? Of course it could've been a fake MTO, but if you accuse your opponent of faking an injury, don't expect her being nice in response.
Two of my favorite players, I am always rooting for them both.
same! 🤗
So many mutually respectful friendships have been created by people being aloud to fight it out.
absolute truth. my best friend is someone that i personally attacked and fought with upon first meeting lololol
Sloane lying lol “I spoke to you about it, I did not address her at all” No, you spoke directly at her.
and as if it makes a difference lmao
@@sashaspano588 A lie is a lie and Sloan lied, that's the point and the difference, "lmao."
@@markuse3472 you don't like black people lmao
@@markuse3472 she didn’t lie. She’s referring to before. She complained to the ump about the physio then Anastasia had something to say and that’s when this clip starts. You can see on sloane’s face on the clip she’s looking at Anastasia because she’s saying something.
@@ghostgreen2248 go to 1:28 - she’s talking directly to Anastasia, then a minute or so later she says I didn’t talk to her, I talked to you (the umpire). Very clearly lying. It’s ok, emotions were high. I’m just saying that’s a blatant lie though.
So happy they worked things out, as women we need each other sometimes 🙏🏽💯❤️
You call this working things out? What fantasy world are you living in? Are you one of those who believe that as a black women who have certain privileges we should be grateful and grin and bare the discomfort of being disrespected day to day so people like you can be happy we work things out. Sorry to bust your bubble, four HUNDRED years of this madness we are tired of this nonsense. Sloane don't need this kind of sisterhood.
what does being a woman have to do with it? are u oppressed in society?
@@warriornanny5780 Do people only get mad at minorities for taking physios? 🙄 No. Physios are a constant super hot topic in the ATP and WTA so why would you need to bring in social politics into a comment about two highly talented ladies playing a competitive sport then working things out in a way that we as an audience honestly don't know about and SHOULD NOT know about because it is THEIR private affairs. STEVENS SPANKED her in the point where she almost got hit. That moron ate $%@# after trying to peg her. Is it only minorities that people try to peg in tennis? No. Why are you mad about the commenters relief that they kept things hot and competitive but cordial off the court? Are you entitled to her opinion or something? Sounds like you packing some colonizer entitlement 👍
Some time you have to move on, and that’s what they did, why say upset with one person your whole life.
@@alivensyde5484 no am trying to live before I can’t live, but that’s just me thank you though ❤️
Congratulations, Sloane
It was a very heated match but they very mature to apologize and settle their differences and move forward.
Sloan is usually very respectful - very surprising. Fun to watch.
Shes a punk like her father. Look at how she treated Raducanu during the Aussie Open.
What did she do that was disrespectful? She has a right to feel a way about the Russian slowing her momentum over a fake injury. Be surprised about the Russian's behaviour.
@@fatwp6345 There has been no proof since that match that the injury was faked. It was clear Pavlovuchenkova’s level went down from the time of the injury to the end of the match.
@@tennissir1986 performance level going down doesn't necessarily mean injury
You still have provided zero proof that she wasn’t injured.
sloane will be the death of me. she's so pretty 😍
I like both players a lot ... more now as they have the ability to bury the hatchet and move on, like true pros.
It happens. They both want to win, but at least they sorted if out at the end and left it on the court.
...at least they resolved it in the end, said sorry and all. You ae both mature girls, kudos!!! World, lets learn to differ and disagree then make up!!!
I wish she tried to hit Sloane with her racquet. Sloane would of destroyed her. They always tough when they’re Not on court.
Would of or would have?
“Would have” instead of “would of”. English isn’t my native language and I didn’t know this until a friend in college told me.
Smoking Tide Pods again?? Anastasia would off beat the living hell out of Sloane Stephens..
sloane would’ve def destroyed her
@@zezezosezadafrak8210 not a chance in hell
The fact that she deliberately tried to hit her AND she can laugh about speaks volumes to the privilege! Smh 🤦🏾♂️

@@miguelangellopezmenendez3118 laughing at trying to hit your opponent is unprofessional…
The privilege in China?
VOLUMES.
@@allsmilez13 Bob Gibson threw fastballs at batters' heads and laughed about it, so let's not go overboard. Hitting a tennis ball at a player when he/she is at the net is a legit shot. it happens all the time. Sloane reacted well and won the point. You can't get seriously hurt with a tennis ball unless it hits you in the eye. A case in point: Watch at 0:55 kzhead.info/sun/aNx6gNuwaqxvaGg/bejne.html
Love the honesty
I think it is interesting these types of conflicts. These are individual sports. What makes them great is also a hubris.
1:15 Then you should go to therapy. That's unacceptable.
I think the best part of this is where they shook hands properly and talked over it, apologized and smooth things over. Stephens was mad at Pav and accusing her of feigning injury and made it a big deal, and complained to the umpire. Pav purposefully tried to hit Stephens and Stephens know it. They were fighting literally yelling and arguing with each other mid Match. At the end of the day everyone will do things that piss the others off and they will retaliate. What's missing most of the time is being able to calm down when you have the chance and smooth things over with the other person.
Sloane had a bad experience with Azarenka in the semi final at Oz Open years ago, where Azarenka admitted to faking injury to win the match. No wonder she was angry.
No, one woman walked over to another player's side, deliberately and still proudly tried to assault her with a weapon, and is allowed to maintain the narrative that both ladies were doing this. No, it was only one.
players really need to stop accusing opponents of fake injuries... like... it's not your body, you don't know... and it's in the rules, so just collect yourself and move on.
I’m glad they sorted it out.
I know Anastasia was totally wrong, but this interview is so relatable and comedic GOLD🤩
No
No, it was deeply disturbing and disgusting.
It is disgusting and macho
@@boparks3204 it wasn't disturbing
Anastasia should have got a code violation for going over to Sloane's side and confronted her. You're meant to stay on your own side
They weren't playing at that moment.
Its good they left it all on the field and worked it out at the end of the match when they shook hands. That's rare to see nowadays.
yeah?? bet if stephens lost that 3rd set she would go on witchin and wouldn't have made peace. losin is one thing but losin thinkin that she lost it because of the russian's "sportsmanship" is another
The chair umpire seemed so lame in trying to stop the argument. It was only when the tournament official came down did they back off.
I understand why she's so angry, Sloan is absolutely gorgeous! Jealousy is a common response to that...

Why on earth did Sloane even comment and made those insinuations about Pav's medical break? it's immature and inappropriate, rarely heard anything like it..
Shanequa they always make troubles
it's annoying when they get MTO and then play like nothing happens, both were at fault but both seemed to apologize at the net so it was cool.
Wow, very disappointing to know Anastasia wanted to hit Sloane and felt it was necessary to bring up the incident and describe that hateful desire in detail.... won't be watching her anymore 👎🏽
She was asked about the incident - she didn't bring it up herself. People wanted to know what really happened and how Pavluchenkova felt about the incident. The interaction at the net was very mature as many things right or wrong can be said in the heat of the moment and I'm sure they both had regrets about their actions that day. As Pavluchenkova said, they were at the Player's Council and got along very well so that shows that they were able to bury the hatchet. Both ladies are great players and great competitors - they both lost a final at Roland Garros. I will be watching Pavluchenkova in round 4 and will be rooting for her. I will be the same for Sloane Stephens.

Dude a physio at 5-2 is pretty suspect...
People sticking up for the physio call at 5-2, which was definitely bs, but these are the same people that probably hate Djokovic for using a medical timeout💀
I don't see too many people "sticking up" for the physio call. No one knows for sure. You just can't openly accuse your opponent of faking an injury and then act as though you didn't instigate all this.
Be quick or get hit! There is no right way to make a point. But, sportsmanship is a issue. At the same time, if you dish out a hit, be prepared to take some hits 👌.
She's saying she "didn't address her" then tells Zhang "I addressed her". Honestly, make up your mind.
She didn't address her until Pavlyuchenkova started in on her that's when they started the video in the clip. Sloan was talking with the Umpire about calling a physio and Pavlyuchenkova heard that and started arguing. Having said that, I like Pavlyuchenckova she's usually nice and just plays her game but she was in a mood this day.
Sloane kept saying she addressed Zhang. No confusion there.
She was referring to Zhang
Ok thanks everyone for the clarification. Good day ☀️
She can't, she's a woman lol
Can't imagine elegant players of the past like Chris Evert, Tracy Austin, or Evonne Goolagong giving interviews like this one.
Was what she said in the interview translated correctly? 😭😂
Gotta love the tennis drama 😂.
Sloane never addressed Pavy, yet Pavy walked over to Sloane's seating area being aggressive, and tried to hit her with an overhead. The umpire and the male commentator seemed to treat Sloane as the aggressor here. I'm glad Sloane stayed composed and won.
Are we looking at two different videos? At 1:22, she is quite clearly addressing her opponent directly and looking straight at her.. 'YOU got what YOU wanted'......'What's disrespectful is YOU calling the physio at 5-2'. The umpire wasn't even down from her chair at that point.
@@chelseacharger must be. If you watched the beginning of the video you will see that even Pavy admits that Sloane's comment was made to the umpire, not directly to her. Pavy then addressed Sloane directly to which Sloane replied to her directly at the 1:22 mark.
@@chelseacharger look at 0:57 where she says. "I was so mad, I went to her side and started yelling, and the umpire had to come down and break us up"
@@airplanesrrf As some others have said, the video doesn't show the whole interaction. But at 1:31 in the film, Sloane is looking directly at Pavy when she says 'You're not even injured'. The umpire is still climbing down from the chair at that moment. I'm really not concerned about who started it but when Sloane, moments later, claims that she wasn't addressing Pavy, that is absolute nonsense. These quotes by Stephens are clearly being directed straight at her opponent. If it was being done via the umpire then 'she' would be used instead of 'you'. I do get it and have seen it plenty times in tennis matches. Players get emotional when things are going against them. So they feel the need to make some drama to fire themselves up and / or unsettle their opponent. A lot of the time, it's petty nonsense and both players know it. Hence, they're chilled about it at the end.
"You've got what you want". "You're not even injured". "Want to see your coach?". Literal Stephene's words. So, Stephene adressed Pavlyuchenkova. After that she retracted and lied. Sorry, but you haven't seen well the video or you don't want to acknowledge it.
I don't blame Pavlyuchenkova. Stevens just needed to STFU and play.
Should've slapped her with the racket
That interviewer is 🔥🔥🔥. Whoa.
Love you WTA dramas
Sloane always calls others disrespectful. She said this abt Serena too lol
I was going to say the same. I think she said the same about Vika too lol
bet if stephens lost that 3rd set she would go on witchin and wouldn't have made peace. losin is one thing but losin thinkin that she lost it because of the russian's "sportsmanship" is another
Calling the physio is within the rules so don't hate the player, hate the game.
She just thought that she wanted the smoke...
Usual disrespect from usual types of players. 🤷🏼♂️
I don't understand WHY Sloane got so upset when Pavy called for the physio??? Did Sloane think this was gamesmanship going on??
Yes
@@willybeama1 Well get over it. That's all part of the game (IF it was even true in this case)! Remember, tennis is 25% talent, ability and hard work. The other 75% is psychological. Pavy got to Sloane and she knows it! This is psychology 101 and Sloane LOST that battle! 🤣🤣
@@KnowTrentTimoy you asked a question and I offered a possible answer. Don’t attack me because I didn’t attack you. I could care less for both of them. What an idiot. You and both of these worthless players can go kick rocks.
@@KnowTrentTimoy And you think psychology is only for the other player? Sloane won both battles, tennis and the psychology.
@@KnowTrentTimoy you must not play tennis
Sloane is the most well mannered player in wta. I remember quoting when she was playing with Serena Williams that we have both the most ill mannered and most well mannered wta players on the two sides of the net.
Is she really? I like her but I still remember her feud with Serena over nothing a few years back. Or have you forgotten that. Not saying Serena might not have had some fault in that, but it is hard to believe Sloane was innocent.
not really tho
This just aint true. Sloane gets in so much drama compared to so many on the tour. Where there is smoke there's fire.
How can u tell if someone needs a medical timeout or not.
I've heard your speech ,but aggressiveness should leave a side, or just don't enter the court, withdraw.
I don't understand why pro tennis players so often act like Stephens here. If Pavluchenkova had faked an injury and called the physio as a strategy... so what? Ignore her, stay calm and quiet and play on. Taylor did it against Nadal in Indian Wells and he was fantastic. Besides, you can't really tell if someone is faking or not, so leave it to the umpire and think about yourself. Stephens is arrogant, I don't like her at all.
Black women can be arrogant too. Its ok, not just for white people. They worked it out. Stop the toxicity.
@@longinusgalaxy411 Black, white or green... where I live it is not ok to be arrogant, especially in sports and if you are a professional and a champion to whom children look up. Not only she was arrogant, she lied to the supervisor like a 12 year old spoiled brat. She should stop her toxicity, not me. At least she said "sorry" to Pavs when she won the match.
@@milvao3400 So you only have an issue with Sloane but nothing to say about Pavluchenkova saying she was about to smack sloane with her racket? Literally violent and aggressive for no reason
@@kingsbury5259 That's a bad translation! She was exaggerating in order to explain how mad she felt at the situation, and how things like that stay on the court and don't go further when they play again or meet off the court, because sometimes tennis is like this, but she would never do that, nor she would threaten Sloane. Please. She even lost the match and gave Sloane a handshake, Sloane said "sorry" to her at the end and I respect that. She knew she was wrong, she addressed her opponent, lied to the supervisor, called her opponent f** bitch. Let's not play the victim just because she's American and/or black. She was just wrong. Period.
@@milvao3400 Lol do you know Pavluchenkova personally to know whether she was exaggerating/joking or not? I'm sorry but that's not a good excuse. you're the only one here playing the race card because I haven't once suggested I'm on sloanes side because she is black or American.
Go Sloane!
Why was the interviewer laughing?
Anastasia should have been disqualified right after this action. Totally inacceptable.
I don't like the player Pavlyuchenkova, she's a lil bit cheater taking MTOs in key moments to cold the opponent, but as a person out of court she seems nicer than Stephens, I knew Stephens once she was so arrogant with everyone asking for selfies.
She learnt it from djokovid
Stephens is always gracious. Don’t make things up

This still doesn’t change the facts that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5 million people in Wales which means if kangaroos were to invade Wales each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos. 😏
I was never a fan of Sloane
my God...Tartakova. WOW
Nah, Sloan tripping. She insults the other girls character by calling her a liar then is pressed when that girl tries to confront her for it.
When you play dirty you never win!!
It’s only emotion.
I live for this shit 🤣
"You wanna see your coach"? Geez Sloane was the one who make the drama. "I spoke to her (to Zheng)". You spoke directly to Pavlyuchenkova, Sloane. Such a coward when Pavlyuchenkova confronted you and you turned the fact.
Sloan didn’t back track at all, she said it to her at the beginning of the clip. And if anyone “made the drama” it would be the person who tried to hit Sloane, do t you think. What fucking video are you watching??
@@Tied348 Stephens definitely did talk directly to Pavlyuchenkova at that change of ends but hey
This whole video… Everything I just saw… Anastasia was wrong… And she’s lucky she didn’t get her azz kicked because when Sloan shook her hand at the end of the match …she jacked her up …wouldn’t let her walk off without settling the matter… props to Sloan.
I've noticed Stevens attitude has been steadily going downhill in conjunction with her ranking.
Who won?
Another classy show from american tennis.
It was the Russian that was classless … much like Russia’s president.
Stephens likes to open her mouth, thats her issue then when someone responds to her, she is defensive.
Yeah she plays the victim nice girl. pathetic
Shit we would've gotta popping in the locker room.
Sloan calm down girl. Just play the game
Yet if a black woman had said that.. y’all will be calling her names.
What does black have to do with it?
@@kawai99100 everything dont act dense
@@bluebear9228 Bull. Like this generation has a clue. Nothing to do with it.
@@kawai99100 the angry black woman narrative is not a generation thing. Go pick up a book if ur so bothered by the truth 😭😂
@@bluebear9228 what about Sloan's behavior?
Well, Still it will be a different story if Serena did this 😖😚
they would be calling for the police to arrest Serena
Just saw this by accident, but am totally disgusted by the Ana girl and the interviewer. Both her and the interviewer thought it was funny that she wanted to smash her with the racket and then trying to hit her with the overhead????? Show's what her mentality and kind of people they are. She did not gain a fan here, and definitely would not root for her in a match going foward.
... it's the way they are.
I just watched the rest and see that she did
What’s with this calling a ‘physio’ nonsense? It’s a time-out. If you can’t go on physically….quit the match.
You wouldn't want to lose a match if a physio can actually help you relieve some pain or discomfort. Sometimes a pill is enough for players to play better.
It's a reasonable rule. Everyone might need something whether it's taping or tratment for foot blisters or minor things like that. I don't understand why players make such a big deal about their opponents taking breaks or asking for the physio. They know that they can do it. They're used to playing in so many different conditions, in full pack stadiums with all sorts of distractions, can't they just sit down and wait a 3-minute break? And if someone is doing that as a strategy, wouldn't it be better to ignore them? Taylor did it against Nadal in Indian Wells. Nadal called the physio even during the changeovers, but Taylor didn't care and didn't complain. He won the match and that's it.
