[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does she[b] have social anxiety or did she want to win it and was worried that journalists will bring her confidence down?[/b]
One is perfectly acceptable the other is cheating the odds!
Every single player can say that journalists will bring them down! And they have to face them. If she is exempt from it, well how is that fair to the others?
It's not!
Do you think it is easy for Novak Djokovic to play at the U.S. Open and have the crown jeer against him and openly mock him and disrupt his serve?
Do you think he loves it when the crowd chants Roger, Nadal, Andy?
Yeah, no. I was in her corner thinking she did it bcs like my kid she wants to run away from the situation like a deer in headlights due to social anxiety.
If the other is the reason, she now has no chance to win it. Talk about being stupid![/quote]

Can't it be both, and aren't both on a spectrum?[/quote]
No, I don't think so. One is gaming the system, the other is a legit health issue.[/quote]

She also said "we get asked the same questions that we've been asked multiple times before" and "they put doubt into our minds." That's what she said. So she's annoyed with it, it gets in her head as an athlete, and she also struggles with depression. She mentioned the first two first.
Hopefully some change will come from this. I just don't think she went about it the right way (for herself, ultimately. I mean, she's the one now sitting out a major Slam tournament.)[/quote]
