[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish tennis had fans like football, soccer, basketball,baseball, hockey…. Where she would have to deal with fans mocking her and taunting her. The media asks simple questions that she can answer or not and the never have the opportunity to press their questions [/quote]
Tennis players absolutely get mocked and taunted. This started with fans booing her for beating Serena Williams. A crazy fan of Steffi Graf’s STABBED Monika Seles, FFS.[/quote]

Exactly. Bunch of folks commenting on this thread haven’t watched tennis since Chris Everette played. Serena/Venus used to  gets booed all the time. Things have bee thrown at them from the stands. And they don’t always ask  “simple” questions. They asked the Williams sisters about her fathers’ marriage, asked her about her coach’s marriage and asked her if she’s got her eggs on ice.

They asked Victoria Azeranka about her custody dispute. They asked Petra Kivtova about being attacked in her home. Ask about their job (which is Tennis).

Because, like it or not, they're celebrities. Comes with the territory of deciding to be a professional athlete. [/quote]

No, it does not. These unprofessional questions are almost always lobbied at female sports athletes. They don't ask Cristiano Ronaldo who his mysterious surrogate is or if he's really gay. They don't question Tom Brady about abandoning a pregnant girlfriend while walking down the aisle the same year with someone else. Where the questions about Phil Mickelson's wife having an affair?

On top of that places like the French Open have any goes press pass operation. Why the hell is TMZ and US Weekly allowed to question the top professional athletes at the most major matches/games of their lives?[/quote]

DP. I just can’t imagine feeling this bad for super rich, incredibly privileged people. Do you think Osaka sits around worrying about your plight? The reality is, she wouldn’t trade places with any of us Regular Joes and Janes. Not for one second. It doesn’t really matter to me that she doesn’t enjoy one aspect of the job that has made her rich and famous. Very few of us enjoy everything about our jobs. That’s kinda how life often goes.
