I really hope they kick her out. I also hope another player does the same and gets kicked out. Then another, and another, until we get only mediocre players win

I really hope they kick her out. I also hope another player does the same and gets kicked out. Then another, and another, until we get only mediocre players winning the Grand Slams. Then all these players will go play in a different tournament where they can be appreciated for their skill, not for doing interviews to please media and the masses that feed on the "emotion".

What do you think sport is ? A fair competition of disciplined skills ? It's a business whose ONLY value is the emotions it triggers in people... We don't care about a poor girl running around with a tennis racket, we care about the story, where she comes from, which population she represent when we beat her or she beats us. A league of serious sportpeople seriously competing without any storybuilding... Look at how you even feel emotions at her being the David vs the Goliath of sport lol, that's what it's always been about.

Without media and fans, professional sport simply doesn't exist.

  This is what I was thinking. I wonder if she is aware of this.

Indeed. I would like to watch a tournament that has some integrity as a competition.

as a former mediocre tennis player, you should not be a douche when you literally receive millions to play a sport that you love. talking to the media is part of the job, you don't have to please the media, you can go and say "media suck!" and still get the millions because you got the skills.

  We have here in Argentina a "reality show" where actors, journalist, old athletes and other influences go to cook, and they are eliminated or pass to the next round. The producers choose the recipes so there is not much creativity, and some of the contestants barely can make a fried egg, but there is a lot of drama because they are famous, they badmouth the "jury", the "jury" make hurtful remarks, they get eliminated and later reaper magically, or get mad and go away, and other things like that. You can choose to have "professional" sports like that where the important part is the press coverage, or something like the Gordon Ramsay show where if the food is perfect but 30 seconds late they get eliminated. [The guy could reduce the amount of scream anyway. Why is he screaming all the time?]

I'm personally sick of all these tennis brats. You want to earn lots of money? Get in line and do what you're told.
