I think it just bugs me when commentators question the injuries of anyone out there, when I can see how hard they trying. Sure Jelena and Serena and dozens of others can sometimes make a production out of it, but I like to think they're a little bit above just all-out gamesmanship.

Who knows, maybe I'm deluding myself. I mean, I guess it was just 3 or so years ago when Mary pierce and Novak got those questionable rubdowns at the Open in the middle of heated matches.

I base my theory about the subject on my gut reactions in similar situations.

If I like the player, I get upset when people question their injuries. If I don't like a player, I'm usually among the first to throw stones.

But I'm working on it.

The same principle applies to interpretation of post-match interviews, btw.
