Dan Wolken is now a tennis expert
Apparently if you go to journalism school you immediately become an expert on whatever sport you boss assigns to you.

USA Today’s tennis expert Dan Wolken was also perfectly happy with the way the rules were strictly enforced for Djokovic.

“There’s absolutely no controversy about Djokovic getting defaulted out of the tournament Sunday after angrily smacking a ball that ended up striking a linesperson directly in the throat,” Wolken wrote.

“Though the ball’s destination was inadvertent, the act itself was clearly born out of Djokovic’s mounting frustration during his Round of 16 match against Pablo Carreno Busta.

He did basketball for the CA, football for the US Today and covers Tennis and Horse Racing. I know the dude watches about every tennis match that is on and seems to really like tennis.

You act like an ass on the court you get penalized.

The call against Serena a few years back was the correct call and the call against Djokovic was the right call.

MOVE ON ALREADY.

UTK fans probably hate him above any other writer so he's got that going for him.

I've always been a massive fan of women. Over the years I've had a lot of interaction with them. Doesn't make me an expert.

Maybe "expert" in the media means something different that expert in real life? Kinda like how they use "bombshell" to describe something they thing is a massive event. When it usually isn't.
