'Some of My Best Friends Are Chinese Girls I Love to F**k'

The fallout from Michael Llodra's racist rant at a fan in Indian Wells continues to grow. After being fined $2,500 by the A.T.P. and supposedly agreeing to apologize to the woman -- who happens to be my friend's boyfriend's sister -- the apology never happened. Confounding the situation, Llodra then told the Chinese media that he had nothing against China, saying: “I love Chinese. I can totally make love with a Chinese girl.” (The New York Times says the interview was immediately cut off by the A.T.P. official monitoring it.)

The woman, who is Korean-American, says she has tried not to make a big deal out of the situation. But as time has passed, her anger has grown. She now thinks more should be done. Read what she told The Times HERE.

A very ugly moment for the sport. I liked Llodra better when he was the fun-loving guy who played Strip Tennis with his opponents.
