From @theathletic.bsky.social: American tennis player Ben Shelton criticized broadcasters and on-court interviewers at the Australian Open. “I’ve been a little bit shocked this week with how players have been treated by the broadcasters.” https://nyti.ms/4atIhtJ

The disrespect is appalling.
Very few Australians would condone such nasty comments and loaded questions.
"How do you feel?"
"I'M F-ING EXHAUSTED," they want to say but have to be polite and yammer on about nothing.
STOP this stupid nonsense. When did this start happening in tennis? It's really dumb.
NBA player James Harden's EPIC eye rolling.

Only men, though, I'm pretty sure.
Has a female interviewer been similarly accused? Those I've heard are knowledgeable, professional, & asking pointed, thoughtful questions.
