Guillermo Coria

First topic message reminder :

Just randomly found this video from 2005 on Youtube, and it reminded me how good Guillermo Coria actually was. Some of the rallies in this match were phenomenal! Such a shame that Coria's serve deserted him, as he could have potentially been right up there at the top for a few years - he was quite similar to Ferrer, but with the added bonus of arguably more touch and inventiveness around the court. Unfortunately, his dress sense (at least in this match) seems to have been far worse; I don't know whose idea the skin-tight top was!

You get banned based on your behaviour alone, by repeating your arguments regarding a specific player.

Then everyone should get banned, should they? Because I don't see anyone has changed their arguments about any player one little bit. Every one has their points and they are going to keep it as long as they want to. No amount of persuasion is going to change it. They all keep coming up again and again, repeats after repeats, in new forms, in new threads, but essentially remain the same. I don't think any discussion in this forum changes the anyone's opinion about any player. This doesn't mean they should get banned.

Where does she say that Tenez should be banned?

If you read it is implied that his 'behaviour' is not tolerated on other forums.

If that is how you interpret it, then my apologies. As LK says, it is not my intent to get anyone banned. Please read Lydian's comments regarding bans handed out in other forums.

I am not married to my own view point. I have changed it several times and have learnt to appreciate what players bring on the court. If a spectator dislikes a player, there is no obligation whatsoever to watch this specific player on the court.

To take an example, after Federer lost the 2010 SF to Djokovic, he was asked whether he would watch the final. He stated his preference for shopping in NY City rather than watch the final.

My opinion is not my religion.

Its not my prejudice either and it doesn't cloud my judgement because it doesn't take up every minute of every day expounding it in blase fashion, for all to see, ad nauseum in almost every article.

But thats just my humble sentiment.
