Talk:Agnieszka Radwańska

message: No mention in the article is made of her parents. I live in Poland and I believe her mother is - or was - a tennis coach in Warsaw and this is how she and her sister were able to play so much tennis as youngsters. Can anyone confirm this?Ivankinsman (talk) 11:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aga's parents 

message: Removed "In addition, Radwańska is known for her gamesmanship." under the section Playing Style, as this is clearly not part of a neutral or unbiased presentation of her tennis playing style and was poorly sourced.  Further searches of Radwanska's alleged gamesmanship show that this can be found only on the article of a SINGLE website (http://www.tennis-x.com/story/2007-09-02/i.php).  Furthermore, the supposed gamesmanship is attributed from a single incident in 2008, when Radwanska beat Sharapova.  During the match, Radwanska moved forward on the court to meet Sharapova's second serve, which players routinely do in order to be in position to put pressure on a weaker second serve. 
Accusations of gamesmanship should not be inserted into neutral articles on Wikipedia, any more than the controversy over Sharapova's shrieking should be presented as an authoritative source on Sharapova's gamesmanship.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.43.135 (talk) 03:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion concerning this article

message: There is a long, ongoing discussion at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found in tennis articles on English-language Wikipedia (e.g., this type of table). The discussion is about whether the "official sponsored name" of a tournament - such as Pacific Life Open - or another tournament name without the sponsor - such as Indian Wells Masters - must be used in those articles. Please join the discussion here. Thanks.  Tennis expert (talk) 09:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Request for wider input on discussion at WikiProject Tennis 

message: As we know, it's always been clear that Radwańska was friends with Azarenka. However, given their last match (at the Doha semi-finals) circumstances (where Azarenka apparently sprained her ankle, but carried on fine during the rallies), I think it deserves at least a mention in the "Personal Life" or "Radwanska vs Azarenka Rivalry", since it's clear something happened after the match. Agnieszka gave Victoria a cold handshake, and then as I mentioned, said she was "angry" with her and had lost a lot of respect for her.
I don't know my edit was removed since the source is not clear, because a lot of the tennis media wrote about it:
http://tennis.si.com/2012/02/23/agnieszka-radwanska-not-pleased-with-victoria-azarenka/ - Important article since it mentions an Azarenka tweet which seems to be about Radwanska's remarks

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/281286/radwanska-angry-with-azarenka
I understand none of them said they stopped being friends, but I think it deserves a small mention even in parentheses about the quotes and the incident.
Hoping to hear what you all think. Matt2411 talk - 24 Feb 23:03
:Late reply: I simply removed her list of friends a while ago. "Friend lists" are sort of trivial IMO, unless every friendship has received notable media attention. -- James26 (talk) 07:10, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding Radwańska's "friendship" with Azarenka 

message: I've only seen Garbine Muguruza refer to Aga as 'La Profesora' (The Professor). Is it in wide enough circulation amongst her fellow players, sports commentators and the public to warrant a mention on Wikipedia?

thread_title:  The Professor 

message: I don't see the point of writing such trivia in the timeline, do we need to find an "achievement" for her every year? Comparing to other WTA top players Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Li Na, Victoria Azarenka or Petra Kvitova etc, this entry is poorly written in many aspects. It constantly tried to remind people Aga is great, so let's focus on the excellence of Aga, if she didn't do well in a match or a tournament, we will skip it and move on to the next great things we can brag and we will talk about those in detail. This entry reads like a fluff piece written by an insecure fan who is afraid of people may not recognized Aga's achievements, or thinks if we don't emphsize on her achievements, Aga will be dwarfed by other tennis players on wikipedia. 173.5.253.208 (talk) 23:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  WTA Shot of the Year and general writing style of this entry 

message: I don't agree with this editing of "Removed early-round exits". This is a wiki entry about Aga's tennis career, it should be objective, you cannot only report the matches she won while ignore those she lost. Read the wiki entries of other tennis players, the early round exits/upsets were well documented and sometimes in detail. Winning or losing, is part of their sports career and they all should be included. A.M.L athony (talk) 10:55, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There was no bias. That was done to avoid cluttering the article, because it didn't seem worth mentioning that a player lost in round 1 or 2. No problem if you disagree. -- James26 (talk) 02:41, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Removed early-round exits"? 

message: This is quite a sad photo of Aga IMO (although it certainly looks nice) because she lost in the first round of the 2015 French Open, and purportedly left the grounds in tears. I think one from last year's WTA Finals, the most prestigious title which she has won so far, would be more appropriate.

thread_title: Lead photo

message: To the Radwanska fanboy who is desperate to include the phrase Known for constructing points and making intelligent use the court: the sources don't say these things, and even if they directly did, you'd still be trying to present opinions as facts. This is forbidden by policy. The only phrase in any of the sources that comes close to resembling what you're trying to write is "But she makes intelligent use of the court, as evidenced by her rise to world No. 6 in the rankings".  This is obviously a completely different thing to saying that Radwanska is known for making intelligent use of the court. Being a fan of someone does not qualify you to write about them I suggest you start away from this article until your ardour for Radwanska has eased a bit. 86.173.208.139 (talk) 08:31, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, you are not allowed to make personal attacks on Wikipedia. Secondly, I'm not sure that you've even read the sources fully. Both the ESPN source and the WTA source state that she constructs points, while the WTA source also states that other players describe her as intelligent, and Gulf News directly mentions "intelligent use of the court", so she is therefore recognized for these things. This is her playing style and it is well-documented here. -- James26 (talk) 15:45, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Making knowingly false accusations of vandalism is a particularly grievous personal attack but you felt perfectly entitled to do that. I can find you sources aplenty describing negative aspects of Radwanska's game. To conclude from those sources that she is "known" for those aspects would be as ridiculous as what you're doing. Stop crufting up the encyclopaedia, and learn what neutrality means. 94.118.222.220 (talk) 09:59, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: My comments were directed at your edits. They were not a personal attack. Your edits do not cite Wikipedia policy, just your views, and are therefore being reverted and reported. -- James26 (talk) 10:16, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
