What's this shitstorm about Kim sears about? apparantly it's all over twitter that she made racist remarks

She allegedly refers to Berdych nationality in a rant. Not sure I would consider that racist.

   Yes I thought that too. Anyway they'll wake up very shortly to a media firestorm.

Andy's post match press conference 29th January.

Very interesting.  Thanks.  Let's hope all this stuff about Dani cools off soon because, apart from anything else, both Andy and Tomas are scheduled to play in Rotterdam and Dubai, so another meeting soon could be on the cards.  I hope too that finally all the question marks hanging over Amelie's suitability as his coach have now been answered because I agree with Andy that she never deserved them in the first place.

I really do like Andy's positive approach to the final.  Of course he'll be very disappointed if he loses, but at least he doesn't see it as being the end of the world.  I'm sure Elena's death, and Ross's illness, have both allowed him to see things in a much truer perspective.

On the BBC late evening news, Kim's alleged words were changed and were a little less colourful.  The bottom line is that nobody really knows exactly what she did say because there was no microphone nearby, so it was left to a few lip-readers to decide what they were, and so it went on from there, propagated inevitably by the highly dubious Twitter.

Even the lip-readers couldn't agree on what she said. Some of their theories are bizarre. Why would Kim call Berdych a "fat f***"? It makes no sense. To be honest of they didn't put the cameras on her every 2 mins we wouldn't have seen it. The split screen of the 2 woman was pathetic. I saw ESPN did the same but decided to also add what they thought the rings they were wearing were worth.

How sad and infuriating that all the media care about is trying to disrespect and defame Andy's lovely girlfriend when she is such a nice lady, they are both so happy and he has made it to another grand slam final. Nobody heard what she said and it seems to me incredibly unlikely that Kim would swear and insult anyone even in the heat of battle. This is journalism at its smallest and meanest. All it will mean is that they are back to square one with Andy who will be absolutely blazing mad about it and probably revert to the monosyllabic interviews. No other British sporting superstar is disrespected like Andy. David Beckham, an Englishman, has virtual saint status despite a number of grubby affairs. It seems anything can be said about Andy - they should move back to Scotland where he is truly loved and valued.

Trust the BBC. Perfectly OK for Gerrard, Rooney or Lampard to swear blue murder at the ref every match but when Andy does it they apologise for every expletive. Total and utter hypocritical s**te.

Come on guys 'n gals, let's show solidarity and  reclaim Kim's words with pride, without the "Czech" bit of course.
Flash f*** is the most tremendous swear and I promise to use it on every suitable occasion  Whistle
BTW IMHO she's right.  Berd is a FF  thumb up

Of course it is funny and quite cool in a way. I just get mad that his great win is being overshadowed

Kim was definitely swearing, and I'm not sure why so many people are shocked.  Do people still think women can't/don't swear?  lol

She doesn't ask to be on camera, and unlike some WAGS, including Flash **** Berdych's Ester, doesn't court the media.  I think she'll try to laugh it off, but she'll not be happy, and I hope it doesn't distract Andy.

I know it's just the media doing what the media does (and they have printed their fair share of trashy stories about Posh and Becks), and caring about getting hits on web pages, and creating sensational stories, but do they not realise how distracting this could be for Andy?

I'm just glad he's got an extra day before the final.  I thought he'd need it to rebalance from the significance of getting to another final, and "beating Dani", but it might just come in handy to let this  side-show die down.

All of the positive things Andy was saying about women in sport, or his own come-back and brilliant tennis are being overlooked, because his fiancee did a bit of swearing while watching tennis (like normal people do).  Quite frankly, if the papers don't want to talk about sport, there are a lot more important things they could be covering. 

It's a depressing reflection of our media, never mind for Andy.

@bbh - yeah.   And he'll always be a FF in my mind now.

Yes agree it's a shame that F-gate has overshadowed Andy's brilliant dismantling of the FF (and as Sparkle says what Andy was saying about women in sport).  In particular I read that she didn't shout it at him a la Mirka but merely muttered it and it was picked up by the pesky cameras and then lip read.  Poor woman does she have to sit there with tape across her mouth in future unless a swear word happens to pop out?

What's the point about Kim ??? She swear at a high stakes/tension tennis match her fiancé is involved in ? So what ???  confused
Wait ! Women swear ?! "Shocking" ! They poop and pee too ??! I can't take it anymore...

Medias are stupid some (most of the) time. Come on, who never swear ? even against nationality because of the tension or you being frustrated in some situation. It doesn't mean you are a total racist/fascist/nazi jerk. Its just words you say on the moment and regret afterward.

I think that's a perfect description.       i will now think of him as FF instead of Birdshit.   On the news last night the clip went on a bit longer and Mark Bender appeared to say ""that's right".   She was speaking within the box to a fellow team member and was perfectly entitled to do so.

  Yes he was nodding quite emphatically as well.
