Novak Djokovic disqualified ! .. .. and his fans act mercilessly insane !!

Novak Djokovic and his petulant tendencies flirted with disaster but his fans are real insane ! mad mad hooligans !!

2020 US Open is the 140^th  edition of tennis' US Open and the second Grand Slam event of the year. It is held on outdoor hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.  For the first time since 2014 - there will now emerge a first-time men’s singles Grand Slam champion. Rafael Nadal and Bianca Andreescu were the men's and women's singles defending champions; however, both decided not to compete. Nadal withdrew from the tournament citing safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, while Andreescu stated that the pandemic had compromised her ability to prepare and compete at her highest level.

 

Pablo Carreño Busta  is a Spanish professional tennis player,  is ranked world No. 30 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and reached a career high of No. 10 in  2017.  In the Corona affected US Oprn, yhr  No. 27 from Spain, had just broken Djokovic and earned himself the chance to serve for the first set. That, in itself, would have been a surprise. But what followed was truly remarkable. Djokovic hit a ball in disgust towards the back of the court. It hit a line judge in the throat. Regardless of intent, and a long conversation with officials, he had to be defaulted, bringing his 26-match winning streak to a bitter, extraordinary end. Carreno Busta did not rejoice in his unlikely victory and admitted he felt sorry for the top seed but added ‘the rules are the rules’. ‘No, of course I think this was not intentional,’ said Carreno Busta. ‘I don’t think that any one of us, of the players, does this kind of thing intentionally, you know.

Novak Djokovic and his petulant tendencies flirted with disaster once too often on Sunday night when he was sensationally defaulted from the US Open. The world number one was kicked out of Flushing Meadows as, in a flash of temper that has become too common, he angrily swiped a ball away that struck a female line judge, Laura Clark, in the throat. After initially pleading that the woman was not seriously hurt, Djokovic eventually walked off and later apologised for 'causing her such stress', saying his swipe was 'so unintended, so wrong'.   

Djokovic was serving at 5-5 in the opening set, and was broken at a crucial stage – which meant his opponent would be serving for the set in the next game. In frustration, as he walked back to the baseline, Djokovic took the ball in his pocket and without looking, hit it fairly hard towards the left corner. The ball caught the line umpire square on the neck, and she immediately tumbled to the ground, clutching at the point of impact. The Serb superstar immediately raised his arm in apology and went over to check on the line umpire. The chair umpire Aurélie Tourte followed, and the tournament referee Soeren Friemel, and Grand Slam Supervisor Andreas Egli too were called on court. After a 10-minute discussion, Friemel made the decision to default Djokovic. He later told reporters: “Based on the facts that the ball was hit angrily, recklessly; that it went straight at the line umpire’s throat; that the line umpire was clearly hurt and in pain, the decision was made that Novak had to be defaulted.” Massive favourite for the tournament, the 33 year-old Serb had already been showing signs at frustration at the resistance being put up by Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta when he was broken for 5-6 in the opening set.

After all of Novak Djokovic’s off-court controversies in the past few months, an on-court misdemeanour has resulted in him being defaulted from the US Open. The in-form World No. 1 was an overwhelming favourite when he inadvertently struck a line umpire.  Conspiracy theorists may say the harsh decision was a way for the governing bodies to get back at him for forming a rival players’ association a day before the US Open, but the decision was by the book. And it’s something that even Tim Henman – the darling of British tennis – faced at Wimbledon in 1995.

The line judge was named last night as Laura Clark, a tennis lover from Owensboro, Kentucky who worked her way up from junior and college tournaments to officiate at the sport's showpiece events such as the US Open and Davis Cup.  While Djokovic was clearly not aiming for her, the ball hit Clark, who keeled over. The rules are quite clear: he had to go. Referee Soeren Friemel was summoned onto court inside the deserted Arthur Ashe Stadium by umpire Aurelie Tourte. Djokovic was told, after plenty of debate, that there was no option.

That moment his anger overtook him cost him career, Grand Slam, centre stage? In an apology posted to Instagram, Djokovic said the situation has left him feeling 'really sad and empty' .. .. After becoming enthralled by watching 1990s tennis stars Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, Clark worked her way up from junior and college tournaments to officiate at the sport's showpiece events such as the US Open and Davis Cup.  Speaking to local magazine Owensboro Living in 2014, Clark said she had previously had a lip busted by a 130mph serve at a tournament in Louisville. 'The only times we are seen by the people are during our mess-ups. Period,' she said.  'The first time you are on a big court it is terrifying, and it is the coolest, most terrifying experience in the whole world. You are shaking so hard and you're sure they can see you shaking.' However, she said she sympathised with top players and the pressure they were under - saying there are 'no calls that are not significant'.  Clark has sat in the umpire's chair and acted as tournament referee as well as being a line judge, saying that being a tennis official is 'not something you are going to make a huge amount of money doing' - but adding that 'I would do it for free'.

Friends said last night that she was not seriously hurt by the ball to the throat, and Djokovic offered her an apology for having 'caused her so much stress'.  'Defaulting a player at a Grand Slam is a very important, very tough decision. And for that reason, it doesn't matter if it's on Ashe, if it's No 1, or any other player on any other court, you need to get it right.'  Djokovic quickly left the stadium afterwards without attending the mandatory press conference to explain himself. That refusal from the newly self-appointed head of a players' union quickly drew criticism from ex British number one Greg Rusedski, among others.

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios asked a question on Twitter: 'Swap me for jokers (Djokovic) incident. 'Accidentally hitting the ball kid in the throat' how many years would I be banned for?'  This was arguably the most dramatic disqualification since British umpire Gerry Armstrong, now the Wimbledon Referee, booted John McEnroe from the Australian Open 1990 for verbal abuse.

That is not all over !  .. .. .. 'You'll join your dead son soon': US Open line judge who was struck by ball hit by Novak Djokovic is bombarded with death threats on Instagram by trolls mocking her son's death in cycling accident as tennis star is fined $10,000n  .. .. that simply is hooliganism ! – she did nothing wrong and it was Novak’s own making and yet they issue death threats and mock her son’s death.  Heartless and shameful !!  

The US Open line judge hit in the throat with a ball by Novak Djokovic has been subjected to vile online abuse after fans of the world No 1 discovered her Instagram account. Laura Clark, from Owensboro, Kentucky, was catapulted into the spotlight on Sunday night after Djokovic inadvertently hit her with a stray tennis ball, resulting in him being disqualified from the US Open. Clark went down instantly, seemingly in considerable pain, before Djokovic came to check whether she was okay. The match was then defaulted and the Serbian kicked out of the tournament. The world No 1 has been stripped of his $250,000 (£190,000) in prize money for reaching the last-16 and fined an additional $10,000 (£7,600) for 'unsportsmanlike behaviour'. Trolls were quick to take to social media today, finding Clark's public profile and sending thousands of hate-filled messages, including death threats.  Clark's son died in 2008, and one of Djokovic's fans told her 'don't worry, you'll join him soon'.  Clark's son Josh died in 2008 from a bicycle accident at the age of just 25.  Almost every post on Clark's Instagram account - going as far back as her first picture in September 2011 - has been spammed with comments from Djokovic's fans, with many calling her 'sick' and an 'alcoholic'.

Djokovic had looked extremely likely to add to his seventeen Major titles before his disqualification at the US Open and had been in imperious form, boasting a 26-0 record for 2020 which may have extended to the end of this strange season.

The disqualification is a massive blow to his hopes of usurping Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, both absent from Flushing Meadows, who stand on nineteen and twenty Grand Slam titles respectively.

Sweeping achievement by a Cardio vascular Scientist on the field !

Remember that Test no.2387 and then had to wait for more than 4 months for the historic test no. 2388  .. .. .. Cricket perhaps is back on its feet !  This post is on an exceptional women – a Cardiovascular Scientist !!

AT start of this year 2020, India toured  New Zealand and played two Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship.

India won the first three T20I matches to give them an unassailable lead in the series.  The third T20I was decided by a Super Over, after both teams made 179 runs from their twenty overs. This gave India their first T20I series win in New Zealand.  Kane Williamson was ruled out of the fourth T20I with a shoulder injury, with Tim Southee named as New Zealand's captain in Williamson's absence.  The fourth T20I was also tied, with India once again winning the match in the Super Over. India won the final T20I match to take the series 5–0, becoming the first side to whitewash another team in a five-match bilateral T20 series.

However,  New Zealand won all  the 3 ODI matches  making their first clean sweep against India in an ODI series with three or more matches. It was the first time that India were whitewashed in an ODI series since losing 5–0 to the West Indies in March 1989.  During the tour, New Zealand's Ross Taylor became the first cricketer to play in 100 matches in all three formats of international cricket. New Zealand won the first Test by ten wickets to record their 100th victory in Test match cricket. New Zealand won the second Test also  by seven wickets,[ taking the series 2–0, and extending their record of being undefeated at home to thirteen Test matches.

That was on Mar 2,2020 and then followed the lull, Cricket fans had to wait for  history to happen on 12th July 2020 ~   yes a test match happening after 4 months – amidst Covid and the touring West Indies emerging winners.  A significant win to Jason Holder and West Indies !  when the Series was contemplated, even die hard fans were not favour of matches being played at a time when the globe was surrounded with pain and anxiety.  However, ECB planned the matches within a biosecure bubble, with on-site hotels being their quarantine base. It clearly was an attempt to cash on media marketing, not on the game or the spectators but those who would watch the forecasts even when drowning under fear of Covid 19.   

There have been many matches since, after West Indies, Pakistan toured England and now Australia is playing.  Indian Premier League is set to begin in another 10 days’ time with matches being played at UAE. When Germany women took the field for the first T20I against Austria in Seebarn on August 12, it marked the return of women's internationals since the T20 World Cup final in March, but the series will be remembered more for all the records Germany broke along the way to a 5-0 win - two hat-tricks, the team's first T20I century, Germany's first T20I five-for, and their openers setting the highest unbeaten partnership for the first wicket across all T20Is. The sudden limelight was something the players weren't used to. The livestreams of these matches on YouTube gained over 85,000 views each, and their phones buzzed with notifications from across social media handles.

An Indian women more distinguished otherwise hit the headlines by taking 4 wickets in 4 balls in T20I .. ..  She is  Anuradha Doddaballapur, the Indian-born captain of the German national team, who took four wickets in four balls against Austria in Seebarn last month. The previous day, her team-mate Anne Bierwisch took a hat-trick against the same opponents, also in Seebarn.

Two bowlers have taken four wickets in four balls in men's T20I.  First  was Rashid Khan, for Afghanistan against Ireland in Dehradun in Feb 2019 and he was followed in Sept by Lasith Malinga, for Sri Lanka against New Zealand in Pallekele. Malinga has also achieved this feat in one-day internationals - against South Africa in Providence (Guyana) during the 2007 World Cup.

There's a running joke in our team," says Anuradha Doddaballapur, the Germany women's captain. "The minimum qualification to make it to our women's national side is a master's degree."  Former Karnataka player Doddaballapur is a cardiovascular scientist, and fits right in in a team mostly comprising highly qualified academics. "The balance between science and cricket has been a difficult one, but I've never felt like giving up one for the other," says the 33-year-old. "To have a world record to your name while you're able to do the work you want to do is something I am grateful for." Her 5 for 1 in the fourth T20I against hosts Austria made her the first woman to take four wickets in four balls in T20Is.

Doddaballapur is a medium-pacer, but the record came when she decided to bring herself on as a spinner in the 15th over. She says she wanted to put the onus on the batter to generate all the power herself. "The hat-trick ball was quite exciting because we had had one the day before," Doddaballapur says. That was Germany women's first ever hat-trick, taken by Anne Bierwisch. It was quite the day for records; in the second T20I, earlier on the 13th, Emma Bargna had taken Germany women's first five-for. "The fourth ball - nothing special, really," Doddaballapur remembers. "It was all about going through the over. In fact, my reaction after the four-for was so normal that I wished I were aware it was a world record, so I could have reacted more enthusiastically!"

A native of Basavanagudi in Bengaluru, India, Doddaballapur was drawn to sport by her father's love of Test cricket. She remembers being charmed by Sachin Tendulkar's batting, before a "zinc-smeared" Allan Donald's bowling action made her a fan. At the suggestion of a friend 12-year-old Doddaballapur got into the Karnataka women players' organised training group in 1998-99. The group was overseen by former India captain Shantha Rangaswamy and batter Kalpana Venkatachar. Back then, women's cricket in India was still nearly eight years from coming under the BCCI's purview. Her Karnataka career came to an end with her decision to move to the UK in 2008 to get a masters in Medical Genetics at Newcastle University after finishing a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Biotechnology at Bengaluru's New Horizon College. But it was far from the end for her cricket-wise. "I enrolled myself at a cricket club in Newcastle. A few county coaches noticed me there and I ended up playing a few seasons for the Northumberland women's county side, one for my university and three for my local club, the South North Cricket Club."

An offer to pursue a PhD in Cardiovascular Biology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt came by in 2011. Given Germany's prominence as a hub of biomedical research, the decision to relocate was not too difficult. "But I knew I could live away from cricket only that long," says Doddaballapur, "so after a year of getting used to life in Frankfurt, I started looking up cricket clubs in the city." She could only find one, the Frankfurt Cricket Club (FCC), and it did not have a women's team. So she decided to play on the FCC men's team for the 2013 and 2014 seasons. She also represented the Cologne women's team in the country's primary leather-ball inter-region tournament, Bundesliga, from 2013 to 2015, and during that time helped lay the foundation for a women's club in Frankfurt.

Meanwhile, a maiden call-up to a national squad training camp in Berlin came in the spring of 2013. Her debut for Germany in the T20 European tournament followed in August that year. In 2014-15, Doddaballapur and another Frankfurt-based player set up an FCC women's club, which has since 2016 fielded a team in the Bundesliga. A further step up in her cricketing career came in 2017, when was handed the captaincy of the national team. Last year she also picked up an ECB Level 2 certification, along with 14 other coaches in the country, four of them women.

"The principles of coaching here are slightly different," says Doddaballapur, breaking down a process she describes as unconventional.  Doddaballapur is looking to continue contributing to both cricket and science "until I tire out - which I hope never happens". And she hopes her record five-for and Germany's series win helps put the women's national team on the world map. "Ours was the first women's international series after the Covid-19 hiatus," says Doddaballapur. "The ICC did a bit of promotion, reaching out to us for photos for social media - which doesn't happen often for Associate teams, so I'm grateful that Austria successfully staged the series. Our matches were live-streamed, meaning that, aside from the England v Pakistan series, people could watch ours too. The response on social media has been great, and I hope our performance - both individually and as a team - further helps kindle interest in Germany women."

Hats off to this great Women Cricketing Doctor !

Ramiz guffaw ! ... .. ....... ......... Pak team trolled !!

Ramiz Raja was an opener to watch during his playing days – the same cannot be said of his commentary though.  In 57 tests he made 2833 runs and 5841 in 198 ODIs.

After England beat Pakistan by five wickets in the second Twenty20 international last Sunday, former fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar lashed out at skipper Babar Azam and questioned his captaincy skills. England captain Eoin Morgan led from the front with a blistering 66 runs off 33 balls as the Three Lions chased down a challenging target of 196 in 19.1 overs after losing the toss at Old Trafford.

Drawing a comparison between the two heads, the Rawalpindi Express expressed disappointment and felt that Babar was really confused about his job and often seemed lost during the course of the game. “Babar Azam looks like a lost cow to me,” said Akhtar on his YouTube channel. “He is out there, not knowing what to do. It is important to take decisions on his own so that it could help him become a better captain in the coming times. Babar will need to understand that the chances coming his way are not going to happen for the rest of his life so, he needs to make the most out of it,” Akhtar remarked. The former speedster was equally critical of the Pakistan team management. “Pakistan team are playing in a bio ‘insecure’ bubble, where each player is insecure. No one has an idea about whether they want to become a good captain or a good brand.  Confused selection, confused management, confused captain, confused team, and confusion of everything. Teams are not made like this. So go with a set plan and go with one plan,” Akhtar concluded.

Pakistan wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed posted a cryptic tweet after facing social media wrath over a missed stumping in the 3rd T20I vs England. His Urdu text, loosely translated, points to misunderstandings for the trolling he has been facing. This criticism came after Sarfaraz missed an easy stumping of England all-rounder Moeen Ali in the 3rd and final T20I at Old Trafford in Manchester. The mistake almost proved very costly for Pakistan as Ali went on to hit 61, taking England close to the 191-run target. Pakistan, however, won the match by 5 runs. Sarfaraz got his only chance to feature in the Pakistan XI in the 3rd T20I on the tour of England. He did not get to bat in the match. Following this tweet, Pakistan Test captain Azhar Ali, who was till recently himself at the end of intense criticism till he came up with a match-saving century in the last Test of the England series, came to Sarfaraz’s defence.

On 25th June, 1983, the Indian cricket team made history by lifting the men’s cricket world cup trophy. The Kapil Dev-led team defeated West Indies by 43 runs and clinched the cup.

A couple of months back, Pakistani cricket commentator and former cricketer Ramiz Raja shared an image on Twitter  - a payslip that detailed the payment made to the Indian cricket team players for a one-day international match. According to the image, all fourteen players of the team, including the then-captain Kapil Dev, along with Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar and other heavyweights were paid Rs 200 as daily allowance, amounting to Rs 600 over three days and Rs 1,500 as match fee. The total amounted to Rs 2,100/-   

Ramiz thought he was annoying Indian cricket fans stating  that he was paid a whopping Rs 55,000 for 5 Tests and 6 ODI’s in 1986-87. “Had to reproduce this... will try to get a copy of what we got paid for the Indian tour in 86-87. I remember it to this date what I got: played 5 Tests and 6 ODI’s and got paid Rs 55,000,” he wrote on the microblogging platform.  .. .. but the guffaw, he could easily have verified is on that given date 21.9.1983 – there was no Oneday International – and certainly not with Pakistan X1.   The match under reference was a charity match, a fund raiser for victims of natural calamity and in all probability, teams agreed to play without fees but were paid some expenses ! which were common those days.   .   Additional info : Bishan Bedi whose signature is on this, was not the Manager of WC 1983 team it was PR Man Singh. 

Without knowing the facts, Ramiz compared it with the amount that was given to Pakistani players in the year 1986-87 perhaps trying to run down BCCI, the richest Cricket board of paying lowly while his Board paying them well.  He said he was paid Rs.55000/- for 5 Tests and 6 ODI’s and got paid Rs 55000, which again would translate lowly going by the no. of days involved on a tour – lesser said, for that is how much his Cricketing brain is.  

As per the current contracts, BCCI pays 7 crore to players who feature in the premium A+ category. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are three players in the category as they also represent the team across the three formats. There are 11 players who feature in Grade A where they receive Rs 5 crore on an annual basis. 5 players receive Rs 3 crore each in the Grade B category while 8 players, who feature in Category C, receive Rs 1 crore each from the Indian board.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also recently made the salaries of its players public. Babar Azam, Azhar Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi are the three players ranked in the top category by the PCB. Compared to BCCI, which pays 9,27,336 USD each to its players in the top category, PCB pays 81, 576 USD to its players in the top category.

Remember having seen the brother of Ramiz, Wasim Raja playing at Chepauk.  A free flowing left hander and a useful leggie, Wasim played 57 tests and 54 one dayers.  He died during a match in Buckinghamshire in 2006 aged 54.

Happy is discriminatory against unhappy ! ~ Salongate ! - Saloon kadai Shanmugam !!

 AT Triplicane, decades ago, there was the family barber who would come home and do hair-cutting ! – children would cry at the crude ways but there was no option ! .. what do you call a hair dressing shop – is that “Saloon” or ‘Salon’ ??  

Pelosi is in news !  .. ..  Nancy Patricia Pelosi   is an American politician serving as a congresswoman from California, and is the two-time and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Democratic Party, Pelosi is the only woman in U.S. history to serve as Speaker, and is the highest-ranking female elected official in United States history.  She is also the current dean, or longest serving member, of the California congressional delegation. As House speaker, Pelosi is second in the presidential line of succession, immediately after the vice president.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faced criticism this week after surveillance video surfaced of her visit to a San Francisco salon, where she was seen inside without a mask on – which violated health guidelines in the city. Pelosi responded to the video, calling the visit a "setup."  The video has been replayed giddily by Fox News and covered with fervor by outlets like the New York Post, which have lambasted the congresswoman for her hypocrisy in failing to comply with the now politically charged mask mandates she has encouraged others to follow.  The salon owner has since denied Pelosi's claim, while Pelosi's hairstylist has backed it.

Erica Kious, who owns the salon, eSalon on Union Street in San Francisco, told Fox News Pelosi got her hair washed and blown out during her visit. At the time, salons in San Francisco had been closed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic. They were allowed to start reopening on Tuesday – a day after Pelosi's visit – for outdoor service, according to San Francisco's health department. Face masks are always required during approved services and more generally required citywide when social distancing can't be maintained.  The video of Pelosi's visit to the salon was widely shared on social media, where the House Speaker received backlash and criticism.

It may not be the real Rajni movie but Kuselan  released in  2008  directed by P. Vasu.  Starring Pasupathy and Meena, with Vadivelu  was a neat comedy movie. The plot revolves around a villager, who had shared a strong friendship with a popular cinema actor in his youth. However, due to their different careers they were forced to part ways, one becoming a national figure, the other, a village barber. Decades later, the actor returns to the village to participate in his film's shooting. Whilst the entire village become excited about the prospect of seeing the actor, the barber fears that his old friend would have forgotten him and would neglect him.

Peppered was the barber-shop rivalry of Pasupathy with Vadivelu in as ‘Saloon kadai Sammugam’  who once trained under Balan (Pasupathi) and opens a shop  opposite to his shop.  The scenes involving Vadivelu was really hilarious.

Salon is a shop where you can get a particular service, especially connected with beauty or fashion: a beauty salon; a hairdressing/hair salon

Saloon would mean -  a public bar, especially in the past in the western US.  It would also mean a car with seats for four or five people, two or four doors, and a separate area at the back for bags, boxes, and suitcases.

Elsewhere in UK, an advertisement by a Hair Salon got into trouble as its owner was challenged on the chosen wording.    MailOnline reports that a hair salon owner was  told she cannot place a job advert for a 'happy' new stylist - because the word is 'discriminatory' against unhappy people.

Alison Birch, who runs AJ's Unisex hair salon in Stroud, Gloucestershire was amazed when an official at the local job centre said she could not stipulate happiness as a required quality for a new employee. Her ad said 'Part time fully qualified hairdresser, must be confident in barbering as well as all aspects of hairdressing, must have at least 5 years experience working in a salon, after being fully qualified. This is a busy friendly small salon, so only happy, friendly stylist need apply.'

Mum of three Alison, 54, who has run her salon for 20 years, said: 'It was less than an hour after I'd gone online and placed the ad with the local job centre that I got a call from a man there saying there was a problem. 'I said what's that and he said I couldn't use the word happy because it discriminated against people who aren't happy. 'I honestly thought it was a wind-up and someone I know was pulling my leg. I thought any second now he's going to tell me it's a joke but he didn't. He was deadly serious.  'In the end I told him I wouldn't proceed with the ad. I can't repeat some of the words I used!

'All I wanted to get across in my ad was that we are a small friendly salon and we wanted someone with a smile on their face. We have had stylists in the past who come in after arguing with their boyfriends and slam the door and things like that and I didn't want that sort of thing again.' She said, during Covid times, 'Our eyes are all they can see while we have to wear masks and visors so I don't think there is anything terribly wrong in advertising for someone of a happy disposition.

Her social media friends were as equally as baffled as her with many commenting on whether political correctness had been taken too far.  'After all, who would want someone miserable cutting their hair? It's great to see our customers leaving with a spring in their step after having an uplifting experience here with happy staff - that's what it's all about.'  Alison added - 'I do feel for people who are, sadly, unhappy at the moment - I think we all go through phases of unhappiness. But to say happy is a discriminatory word seems a little bit unfair and a bit harsh.

Strange are the ways of people !
