That Flavia would be over Patty, and that they'd both be over Anna...

[Gastonleruanich]

Pironkova defeats Wacky Patty, 62, 64... She had 62, 51... Had oodles of match points... Patty got it back to 5-4, and a break chance for 5-all, but it didn't happen... Pironkova held on. The last several games all went to deuce. Had to be mind-bending stuff for both women, but especially Pironkova.

Good for her. Another wasted sub for me. But that's the breaks.

HOBART, Australia (AP) — Patty Schnyder was knocked out of the Hobart International in the first round Sunday by Tsvetana Pironkova 6-2, 6-4.

The 30-year-old Schnyder received a code violation for unsportsmanlike behavior late in the second set for audible obscenities after a prolonged argument with the chair umpire over a line call.

Schnyder, a player's representative for the Australian Open lead up event in Hobart, refused to shake the chair umpire's hand before complaining later about the officiating and the court.

Oh, Patty.

[putza]

So they're not only after Serena huh? I wonder if there are a bunch of chair umps? I know at Doha there as a chair ump who they said just came over from the WTA. The guys challenged every call he made.

I've been watching Patty for a long time and have never seen her get a code violation.

Yeah, it's confusing. That woman needs to start hanging out with Elena Bovina so she can discover heroin and get hit by a bus.
