Yes. Not performing just according to expectations placed on you, but prioritizing your own health? That's what taking back control looks like. Acknowledging that your existence is more than a cog in a giant business, that you're a full human being, that your needs deserve to be honored? Taking back control.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoThat's not what this was. Before her spat with the French Open, she did quite a few attention-seeking interviews on her own including interviews with her musician boyfriend in her home. This wasn't her having a health issue. This was her being obstinate and deciding that she was a bigger star than the tour and the tournament. She wanted to ignore her on-duty responsibilities and do her own thing. People who do their own thing need to find their own jobs. She had "talks" with Wimbledon, and they were quick to shoot her down. So maybe she can bully some minor tournaments, but the majors? They'll laugh her out of the stadium, and her endorsements will follow.
- groby_b 5y agoIt's almost as if she'd like to choose when to give interviews. And it's almost as if you can't stand that.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoIt's almost as if giving interviews is part of her job. No, scratch that. Giving interviews at a time that the tournaments deem appropriate is a necessary and vital part of her job that is second ONLY to being on the court and playing the games. If she can't do that, then she's going to have a hell of a time trying to play meaningful tennis for a living.
