During Sabine Lisicki's 6-4, 6-4 upset of Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round of Wimbledon today, the two lady ballers re-enacted the infamous "Bumpgate" between Venus Williams and Irina Spirlea at the 1997 US Open.
Here's what the German had to say about the incident in question:
Q. Seemed to be an instant where you almost bumped at net at the changeover. What happened there?
SABINE LISICKI: You know, I don't know. We've been changing the sides all the time, you know, the whole match. I was always passing on the left side and she was passing on the right side. So, I don't know. She all of a sudden went to the side I was passing all the time, and we just bumped each other.
But, I mean, there's no big deal for me.
Q. You were a little bit unhappy. You had a quick word with the umpire.
SABINE LISICKI: Me?
Q. Yes.
SABINE LISICKI: No, it was her. She was discussing with him. I was just focusing for the next game.
Damn - Wozzi was NOT pleased by the incident. But I bet losing to Lisi for the second consecutive time in a big match must have felt a lot worse.
Plus they were wearing matching adidas outfits. I'd be pissed too.
UPDATE: "Move bitch...get out the way...get out the way" SO HYSTER. Thanks Uvijek!

OMG - SO HYSTER!!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy to make a big deal out of this -- but I guess when you are on the bad end of the score ... makes you a little grumpy.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't look to me like Lisicki did it on purpose, looked like she even tried to avoid the bump ...
LMAO...i wasn't expecting the song from the clip.infact, when was the last time i heard it? LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious.
If u watching this turn up the volume!
*lol*
ReplyDeleteI love this sooo much!
Wahaha so funny. :)
ReplyDeleteHehehe hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I totally don't get how someone would be pissed about that. I would've giggled, that's for sure. ;-))
Wozzi's all, "Move bitch...get out the way."
ReplyDeleteLisi's all, "Bitch pleeeeeease."
Why so much bitching ladies? Must be the matching outfits.
Talking of the matching outfits, Rich. Am i the only one who can't stand adidas? They can't even dress their top baller properly. They have all these bunch of girls dressed in the same v-neck T's and wrap-around skirts.
ReplyDeleteOn another note:i think the v-neck T's would look great on guys.Of coz not as tight but a lil lose fit will look great showing male clivage...lol -- ok i admit i just wanna see Verdasco and Djokovic's chests.

ReplyDeleteAnd the problem is? Shirts vs. Skins rule in tennis please.
Not to mention Dinara's belly bump always shows. :) That outfit fits Wozzi and Sabine just fine, but for Dinara....not so much.
