And not to minimize what she might be going through but a lot of top level players have had meltdowns during a match. She’s not some outlier on this.


Mcenroe used to get mad, but he won the matches that he wasn't DQéd from.

Agassi flamed out maybe the depression is a cover for general choking.

Above the fray.
.
It’s really not a part of golf and tennis. They have people removed for it all the time. Not remotely comparable to other sports.
Yet there is a post/story about Serena being heckled at the French Open, Osaka mentions watching clip of the Williams sister being heckled at THIS event, and Mr Williams has spoken of his daughters being heckled as they worked their way up the tennis circuit.
Are you saying that steps have been taken to curtail it? Because it clearly was a real thing.

I didn’t say it doesn’t happen but it’s not the norm of the culture of the sport. To say it is relative to spectator sports just isn’t accurate. If you know anything about tennis this is not really up for debate. Also all the examples you cited were :mjpls:

I don't recall watching a single tennis game where you could audibly hear anything besides the actual match being played. The commentators don't even talk until after the point

This!

If I was Osaka, I'd be upset too. As an audience member, you don't heckle during tennis as they'll usually throw your ass out accordingly....this ain't no damn NBA

You niccas are weirdos :scust:

Stop the excuses. She can’t be going to tears anytime some a$$hole says something mean.
