Chaos at Fed Cup, at the hands of Ilie Nastase. He makes horrifying racist and sexist remarks in the press conference yesterday before Romania hosts Great Britain. Then today he causes so much trouble he gets kicked off the court and the match has to be temporarily suspended. Anyway, he's out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2...serena-williams-comment-casts-cloud-britains/

Simon Briggs on Twitter...............Maria Sharapova has been given a wild card into qualifying for the French Open,she was not granted a wild card into the main draw.I also think the same will apply at Wimbledon,from the previous statements from Tim Henmen.

Good. Masha getting wildcards into the main draw doesn't sit well.

For sure not into the main draw. I guess I'm cool with the compromise. It's probably better for tennis generally, if she's going to provide good competition. There is an ickiness to all of this, though.
