— thomas (@thomashwkt) July 23, 2017After a tough loss to Irina-Camelia Begu in the Bucharest final, Germany’s Julia Goerges lectured Romanian fans about sportsmanship. She simply could not resist.“I’m a bit disappointed about the cheering from you guys,” Goerges said. “I know it’s tough and you always go with your home country people and I totally agree [with that] but sometimes think about sportsmanship and being respectful to the opponent, too.”There were differing opinions to Goerges' lecture on Twitter:Love Julia #Goerges, but that comment to the crowd was unnecessary IMHO…#Begu is Romanian and obvious the crowd would cheer for her.

This was unnecessary dear Goerges

Was it a sound move by Julia, or does she need to develop thicker skin when playing on "the road?" ]]>
