FTA-TV First Dates - Part 7

[Kram]

If it wasn't for her crazy father maybe she would have

Prior to this, in 2000, he threw a piece of fish at a cafeteria worker at the US Open after complaining about paying $10 for a skimpy piece of fish. He was then banned from the tournament.



I've always found this story funny in a way but also what an arsehat picking on some worker on probably $5 an hour as if it's their fault the food I'd a rip-off.

 

[Shell]

Heard an interview with her today. Heartbreaking but amazing as well.

I've seen her speak in person about this. She is 1000% exactly the same irl as what you get on the AO. She is brilliant

 

[Kram]

Tennis and swimming are infamous for psycho parents and coaches.

Poor Jelena got both rolled into one.

 

[Shell]

Logically I don't get the physical abuse. How in the **** would that help her play better.


I know that's not the point but still..

What a ****ing campaigner

 

[Shell]

And her mother for not doing anything

 

[Shell]

And all the people that turned a blind eye. SHAME ON THEM.

Almost as bad as Damir

 

[Voula]

Yeah I will never understand what goes on in their brains.

Today on the news there was a story about these parents who were part of some nutty religious group and they refused to give their young daughter medicine for her diabetes because they believed God would heal her. She got very sick and no one tried to get help for her and she died ☹. How can you do that to your own daughter??

[Shell]

People are ****ed in the head

 

[Shell]

I saw the first 10 minutes of last night. He apparently layed into Jelena at a motel after she lost the girls singles pre tournament for the AO. Cops were called. Her back was black and blue and the cops reckon they couldn't do anything because she was refusing to co-operate because she was scared shitless.


Now. Idk what it was like back then but surely that is complete horseshit

 

[Shell]

This is the late 90s were talking about here not ****ing 1922
