Foot Fault!

Calling all the lines of professional tennis

Silence Is Golden [Exhibit B]

Also last week, we watched as Jarka Groth went on an emo rant, semi-announcing her separation from husband and fellow tourist hater, which was later confirmed.

Well today she hit twitter for round two to address the hate assumingly garnered by her previous tweets;

When I first saw her tweets, I felt my mouth open in complete shock. This is the downside of tennis players on twitter in all its ugliness. On one hand, I love that we get a more behind-the-scenes look into what the players do and think when off the court. But when this happens, it’s just too much, y’all!

I consider myself a fan of Jarka’s and totally ‘get’ that the whole situation is completely upsetting to her – how can it not be? But posting her troubles on the internet for the whole world to see only makes it ten times worse. If I was in Estoril, I would confiscate her blackberry from her until she calms down. I hope the people around her are smart enough to do the same.

    I never understood why people resort to Twitter to air their personal problems. Next moment they will be quoted by media everywhere and more people will join the “debate”. Jarka is a lovely girl and I AGREE completely that she could have dealt with the situation in many other ways, like lying low (silence), or even releasing a carefully thought out press release. The disarming casualness of Twitter makes people forget what wide-reaching consequences it could have. I’m a Gen Y and I’m always in disbelief how so many fellow Gen-Ys blur the line between personal and public.

    Anyway, love the blog! Keep it up.
