Wimbledon - It rained Wednesday the plan was saved, close results and people started crazy, or downright dishonest accuser at Wimbledon.
Sometimes at this time every year, and when Serena Williams, Ryan Harrison and Robin Soderling are ornery no big deal. Just do not expect a quiet, diminutive 40-year career in Japan. However, there Kimiko Date Krumm, after dropping a tough three setter to Venus Williams, 6-7 (6), 6-3, 8-6, very quietly, accusing Williams of cheating in their game.
2 hours, 39 minutes, the match was played under a closed roof at Centre Court, and mechanically ventilated for more than convection. The crowd moaned loudly every time Venus threw the ball high to serve, and then stick with it, before launching once again - he did very often, and this is perfectly legal. Tennis fans at the All England Club, always root against the Williams sisters, anyway. Now they are delivered to a real excuse.
Harrumphing has grown exponentially. Then later, Date-Krumm suggested that Williams had forged a spear bad for a tactical advantage, it would be extremely disrespectful behavior.
"When she vomits servant, she always see where I moved the back or forehand," Date-Krumm said. "It's just sick and then see where I am, the return of positions, I think. So she is very intelligent. "
Date Krumm he said in this wise, the voice of the Pacific that most assembled international press does not seem to realize the weight of his complaint. Even the Brit tabloid journalists bulldog let go.
But later in the press center, confirmed the date with Krumm-two journalists that she believed Williams was a fake throwing the ball, tennis etiquette obviously false. "She grabs him, yes," she said. "She's always looking." Date-Krumm said she would never do anything like that. So weird, she laughs.

If this becomes a habit in the mind of the opponent, intentionally or not, the action is effective. But now, rebuilding could become a bigger problem with many courts, including here in the territory anti-Williams.
Venus quickly denied that such a strategy was not included.
"If I do not get a good throw, I throw it again," Venus said. "I think it's one of the first rules to serve them. They serve begins with the draw. You do not have good throw, you throw it again. "
