There’s no way you get to her level.. 1% of the 1% being soft.. just stahp it.

People wanna say women are too masculine but when one shows a soft/feminine side of them it’s “she’s soft”
Exactly, women supposed to soft and feminine

People need to leave this girl alone, nothing she has done warrants this negative energy spewed towards her

Every single shot within every single point has such small margin for error. Tennis is a mentally grueling sport. You have to be absolutely locked in at all times. Silence is almost necessary for peak performance so one guy being a douchebag can really make an impact. That's partly why the etiquette is as such in tennis. It's not the same as most other sports for those reasons amongst others.

With that said I do wonder if Naomi is refusing certain treatments that may help her because she fears the impact on her physical. It's a damned if you do damned if you dont scenario to her.

I would suggest a full reset of some sort for her. I continue to root for her and wont denigrate her for being bothered by a heckler. Its clear who has never played competitive tennis in this thread.

She grew up in Japan, a different culture. Americans' sports culture is knives sharpening knives. I understand why she is constantly breaking down.

Cats are judging her even though most of you have never competed at anything at a high level.

She needs to take a break and not return until she gets good counselling or maybe change careers.

I said earlier that a retreat and respite may help but upon second thought I'm not so sure. Sometimes you gotta just battle through adversity and get exposed to it in order to defeat it. It's possible that a prolonged break may do more harm than good

You guys are bringing up Serena and her being more mentally tough. That used to be the case years ago and in her prime but since she got with that cac she has been more sensative also.

Honestly neither of them are with men who you could say probably calm then down and make them not fold under pressure
