Tennis star Barbora Krejcikova is a big name in the world of sports. He has won many titles in his name. Barbora has earned name and fame through her sport. But apart from her game, when comments were made on her body, the player got angry. He gave a lesson not only to the person making the statement but also to all those who made such comments on women players.
While commentating on the Tennis Channel, journalist John Wertheim had commented about Barbora’s forehead. He said, what do you think, what should I say? Barbora Krejcikova. Look at my head, it looks like Krejcikova and Zeng are on the court. There is not one but eight heads. Barbara did not like this statement. He called this unprofessional commentary.
Baroba wrote on X that, recently during the WTA Fines on Tennis Channel, a statement was made about my appearance and not about my game. As an athlete, I have given a lot to this game and it is very unfortunate to see this. This is not the first time this has happened in the world of sports. I don’t say anything most of the time, however, I think it’s time to talk about respect and professionalism in sports media.
He also said that such moments take you away from the game and the dedication of the players. I love playing tennis. I want it to be shown in a way that shows the commitment I have made to play at the international level.
John Wirtheim has been removed from the panel indefinitely for making this statement. He said in his statement that Tennis Channel believes that there should be respect for everyone. This time it did not happen. We have also apologized to Barbora.
You might have heard about the recent comments made on Tennis Channel during the WTA Finals coverage that focused on my appearance rather than my performance. As an athlete who has dedicated herself to this sport, it was disappointing to see this type of unprofessional (cont.)
