Message: [QUOTE="CuseCactus, post: 3035068, member: 980"] My son played in a USTA tourney last weekend (he's 11). I was watching him play on one court while keeping an eye on a match on the adjoining court. The 2nd seed in the tourney - great player - repeatedly and obviously called balls out. And he repeatedly questioned the other kid's line calls - even though the other kid was playing fairly. I started talking with the dad of the kid who was on the wrong side of the bad calls. The dad said that the kid was known for this. And that his parents were jerks. I actually walked over to the dad of the kid who was cheating. I asked him - "is this the impression you really want your 12 year old to make? He's easily winning the match. What's the point?" The dude looked at me for a second. Looked back at his son. Then said - "#$% off." I shook my head and wandered off. The whole thing really bummed me out. Tennis isn't exactly MMA. [/QUOTE]
