A type of recognizable cheating! Jelena has been taught to be a drama
queen (usually taught by coaches) and this latest match with the young
Danish girl was a true picture of a type of cheating - you cheat when you
stop the match because you are losing and pretend to have injuries - you
certainly cheat your opponenent of her momentum. (Check back to see what
happened at the Fr. Open) What a low class way to win. She is not very
popular, not many of us who follow tennis wish for her to win her matches.
We like to watch someone who plays with courage, decency, skill and who is
a truly good sport.
