For this.
Who does this guy think he is? Kournikova didn’t achieve much on the singles court but she achieved way more than Gimelstob ever did. “We do exhibitions together and I’ll mock her, and make fun of her. I’ll just make her know that she’s stupid”. What is that?! Like she cares what you think, Justin. She is about 14524245x more successful in life than you are. He called Tatiana Golovin a sexpot. That’s kind of true but it isn’t his place to say it. He also called barely legal Alize Cornet a “little sexpot”. And he said Nicole Vaidisova was ” a well-endowed young lady”. Uhh… aren’t you a so-called expert, Justin. How about recognizing her immense talent, something you never had. So, stop being a pig and do us all a favor and die.

Serena blasted Justin Gimelstob, and rightfully so… Did you see the news stories? Hope so. He was suspended, which is good, and then he did a whole mea culpa, and Billy Jean King made a statement on his behalf (well, kinda…).
I wrote a nasty-gram to FSN *months* ago actually after one of his first commentary gigs. I’ve seen him play live and his temper is engaging, but do be a sexist, gross pig while covering a sporting event is a different thing all together…
