  1. I agree with most of what you say. I believe the warning was given because she did not change her shirt while sitting at the players chair. I don’t necessarily believe it’s a sexist rule. Where she did it was the issue, not that she did it. The picture you show of Djokovic has him sitting in his chair cooling off with an ice pack because of the conditions you spoke about at this year’s US Open. Again, it’s location of where it happened and not the action taken.

  2. No, because like was said there are some sports where they wear less clothing so whats wrong with her trying to fix her shirt. Kind of, i understand why but at the same time if its bothering her it can affect the way she plays

  3. No, i don’t think she should have revived a code violation because she didn’t try and draw attention. Now they can both be able to do it.

  4. I don’t think she should have received a violation. it’s kind of back to the whole sexist thing. But long story short, if the guys could take his shirt off in frustration, then why wouldn’t the girl be able too?

  5. i don’t think it was that big of a deal, she was just taking off her shirt. i do not believe she should have gotten a violation.
