[quote=Anonymous]Patrick McEnroe didn’t order Taylor to lose weight.

Patrick McEnroe was head of USTA Player Development during our worst talent drought and refused to give Taylor Townsend a wildcard to compete in the US Open when she was the top-ranked junior player. He didn’t believe she was fit enough. This is not done but this entitled talentless fool who got several great jobs post a mediocre tennis career because of his brother punished her for not being a skinny white girl. She had no problems with her fitness she just wasn’t pleasing to his entitled spoiled white bro eyes.

I was a tennis fan while this was going on and was stunned by comments he would make during matches where he provided commentary. He and his brother would spend entire matches trashing Donald young for the chains he wore and for refusing to take a usta sanctioned move to Spain to be Nadal’s hitting partner which was a career limiting move. He also trashed Taylor’s body. It was disgraceful disgusting ignorant and beyond inappropriate.

Taylor, even back then, represented hope for a lot of people who didn’t really feel welcome in tennis. She meant a lot to me and I remember it being a time when racist statements were made all the time about the Williams sisters.

It was too much and no one ever did a thing.
