The Most Disrespectful Questions Asked to Tennis Players by Reporters

[@Kram0981]

Crazy how much disrespect even the most respectful players can get from these reporters

[@joshc.6706]

For sure. Also props to Fed being classy as always. That Journalist disrespected Djokovic and so many players in one question and Fed wasn’t having any of it.

[@A.theGreat]

@@joshc.6706 it was a cool answer but... classy as always isnt right. maybe classy as often

[@Heathcoatman]

You can tell the difference between an actual reporter and someone cosplaying as a reporter. If you have to ask 'shock-jock' questions, it means you are trying to be something you are not

[@Martha-jl6eu]

I think out of all these questions, Nadal handled himself the best.

[@kidajjjddd]

The Ash Barty question to Nadal was ridiculous, and I'm saying this as an Australian and huge Barty fan. You can't say a decision about which match to play on centre court was wrong because it ended up being quicker than another match. That's unfair and stupid.

[@Pakos-Terimos]

I'm with you, Ash, and Rafa at 100%, it's a belgian decision 🧑‍🎓😇

[@10sGAcmck]

Yes. You can tell Rafa held in a big 'wtf did you just ask me?' laugh after. My immediate reaction was to think this guy was trying to instigate, but then I just realized that he's a bit ignorant. Rafa gets center court every time. I was shocked to hear Rafa say that he wasn't put on center court at FO 😳.

[@hinaz85]

Wth has Nadal got to do with the court played on

[@thisthatntheother747]

Some of these reporters honestly should get prohibited from asking nonsense questions like, "without a boyfriend?". That's just stupidity and irrelevant to the question asked. Smh

[@catyork6070]

It's very sexist too. I doubt any of the male players would get asked such a stupid, slimy question.

[@Beploziu]

I agree that non tennis related should be prohibited but to say it's sexist is pushing. I've been following tennis for a while and have seen a few times reporters ask male tennis players who were playing abroad about getting a girlfriend from that country, quite in poor taste but nothing gender related as I believe most of these reporter have a background in gossip/sensationalist boards etc

That doesn't make him a better person than any of them, though. His answer was pure class, though regardless of that, any rude answers to shitty questions are deserved. Watch more tennis conferences, and you'll notice that these questions are just poorly disguised incendiary rhetoric. I grew up w the saying, "As jy my kak vra, gaan ek jou kak antwoord." Loosely translated: You ask me a rubbish question, I'll give you a rubbish answer.
