Casey Dellacqua hits back at Roger RasheedOriginal story from Fox Sports

As you may have read, Lleyton's former coach Roger Rasheed (who's now mentoring Gael Monfils) said some not-so-nice things about Casey and her weight after her first round exit.

"She may have had some injuries - she's had a shoulder (problem) - but that doesn't actually stop you from getting into real tip-top shape.

If I'm a girl and I've broken into the world of tennis and I've made $500,000 for the year, wouldn't I just try and get into the most perfect nick I could to actually excel?

I'm surprised female players can play with excess baggage."

This was Casey's response to Rasheed's comments:
"I have never met Roger Rasheed. He does not know me or my tennis. He does not know my training techniques, my background or my personality.

He has no idea about my training program, my fitness level or my injury history.

He has never bothered to even introduce himself, let alone offer advice on any aspects of my tennis.

If his comments have been reported accurately and in context, I find it both amazing and totally self-serving that he now chooses to share his ill-informed analysis with the Australian public."

Gooooooooo Casey!!!!!!! What's it feel like to get pawned by a woman Rash!t? mwahahahaha.

Another commentator that's been irritating me lately is Todd Woodbridge. Don't get me wrong, he provides some great insight about the game - but his comments about womens tennis just irks me. Women can't serve as hard, women can't topspin the ball as much - oh come on... if I wanted to be watching a mens match, I'd flick the channel! Sometimes I feel womens tennis doesn't get the credit it deserves.

shes overweight and looks to be rectifying the problem. Surely she should not be offended by the commentary.
