I'm not really into tennis, but isn't there like a referee? In soccer for example this kind of thing can be punished. I don't know any type of sport where badmouthing is allowed (hockey maybe?).

LMAO!!!

Seems like BM worked here. Personally, I would have just walked up to him and lay a beat down, or just tell him to STFU and that hes trash. Sucks for your friend though, I hope that in the next tournament, this piece of shit trash kid gets raped.

Intentionally distracting a player while he's serving is definitely not allowed in major tournaments, and there are umpires for those matches anyway. This was probably a local tournament run by a few people, or even one, as the OP implies. There's just not enough man power to supervise 5 or 6 games all at once, so they leave it to the players to keep score.

I would have delayed the game and called someone to tell that fucking snot-nosed kid to shut up.
That or confront him.

This happens all the time when I play sc2. It's hardest to beat someone when they're very chatty and point out your build order or mistakes and call you out on everything, then BM you during/after. If both of us are silent then it's EZPZ

Tennis is not only a physical game but a mental game. Your friend lost the mental game. It's as simple as that.

There's a difference between losing a mental game, and what happened here.

Nothing like this happens. Nobody is as rude as that kid. NOBODY. What he did, he went well over and beyond acceptable behavior in society.

I believe that everywhere, people should conduct themselves in an honorable (not necessarily pleasant though) manner. That kid did not do that. He played dishonorably, and should be ashamed for his actions.

An analogy to his actions would be if a SC player lost a game, and his opponent went to his booth and got in his face about it (cheering when double faulting). Inconsiderably rude and dishonorable.

@ploy

Think of it as playing deezer in real life. But you can't threaten him, punch him, etc.

So your friend should have won but didn't? Yeah ok. If the kid can't get punished for making noises and distracting his opponent, it seems he played intelligently and won. Yeah, it may be extremely annoying, but he won, and your friend lost, seemed to have worked rather well.


Do you do any sports at all? STFU or troll harder.

Yes, I was quick to read and not process.
I think the idea that he "lost the mental" game is completely false. The mental game would be reading your opponent and bla bla bla, not tolerating and accepting poor mannerisms and sportsmanship.

Those are common grounds of a sport. Not being a sore loser and not being rude or unsportsman-like to your opponent.

Im surprised more people in this thread don't know this. Serena Williams went completely on-tilt again recently after getting called on something quite similar.

That said, your friend needs to be more assertive and call the kid out and bring over an umpire. Let the kid keep making noise after an official comes over and get himself DQ'd.

I think you should probably settle down, if not i'll be more than happy to send you a bit of tissue.

Your friend "should" have won eh? but did he? nope.
Did some freak accident happen like him falling and breaking his knee or anything of that nature? nope.

Dont try to pull that stupid shit, its obvious as fuck already you're over exaggerating everything that happened to try to cover up for your friends loss. Decide it's a good enough story to throw on TL to try to get us to believe.

Like someone else said earlier though, noise like that and shit isnt allowed in major tournaments anyway. So the official didnt "see anything" or in all likely hood none of the above happened and you're just trying to feed us some sack of shit to make up for your friends loss.

good one

Yeah, he made up the entire story to convince a bunch of strangers of a friend we never met nor know his level of skill so that we can sympathize and feel bad for him.

You caught him, yep.

I think you consider the readers in this blog entry too high of an importance.

at a low level little shits will be little shits and can get away with it

in the long run it does not matter

if your friend is good and works hard he will end up where he belongs. the squaker will always be a "skinny piece of shit" no matter what

Maphackers gon' mackhack. They aint gon' get any respect and they certainly aint gon' win any starleagues.

Highly second what Rekrul said. But don't we all?

And for those of you who are trying to be smart with the whole "meta-game" bullshit, LOL you guys are fucking retarded if you guys are trying to make a good analogy with that. As much as you might like to exaggerate, in the end BM in SC is limited to small text on the bottom of the screen. Tell me a fucking time where you guys jumped up in surprise or spilled your drink because one of your friends started chatting you. In sports or art, even a squeak can disrupt your routine if you're concentrating hard because it's physically distracting (aurally that is). It's not the same at all.

I would like to apologize if my sentence was constructed poorly; I'm just trying to say that in essence the mental game is at least if not more than half the game. There's probably people at all levels who try to do things to piss you off; one of the ways you get better is you ignore it and move on.

To make an analogy to SC2, there's lots of BMing done at the lower leagues. But then look at Idra.

90% of the people posting here probably don't even follow the tennis scene(rofl arb), let alone have actually played it above a level of hitting the ball back and forth.

Sucks dude, really all you can do is work with him to get this to not affect his rhythm or just hope he doesn't meet more players like this ;/

This sucks, I think your friend should have said something during the match, but you have every right to be angry.

Tbh if this was my friend (and I wasn't involved in the tournament, so not you) I would have given the kid a piece of my mind and smacked the shit out of him if he still tried to get fresh, but I'd definitely regret doing that later, props to you and your friend for being the bigger men.

This is why I only played contact sports in school. You always have the chance to make them regret it, if you actually can.

I've always been the type to be bored playing games where the slightest noise could ruin my chances, though.

Mind you, the closest I've come to playing tennis is racquetball that was, to be charitable, loosely regulated. While I was in the Army. With other Infantry grunts. That was kind of a contact sport too.
