    French Open

    Watching a little tennis. Because tennis one on one the announcers have a lot of time to focus on the slightest flaw. Currently playing is American phenom named Coco Gauff (16). She is winning but that doesn't stop the broadcaster from saying things like "she's still young she can still get out of it but the contact point on her second serve vaires"
    OMG, should we just kick her out of tennis right now? LOL. 16, beating the torneys #9 seed is not enough damn it! Ordinarily I think pro atheletes have to take it as part of the deal. Typically a very profitable deal. But she's 16 and winning at the moment. I don't really care about a small flaw in her game that a coach would likely not even mention except in practice.
    Let her play.

    That doesn't bother me any. Most of the announcers are former players and they are always talking about technique. Gauff is young yet and I'm sure she has some time and room to improve. It's a good win for her.
