Unusual, WTA > Barbora Krejcikova on the “ Channel” affair: “This is not the first time that such a thing has happened in the world of sport”

Simple, honest, brilliant, the Czech player responded to the Channel journalist because she believes that this time we have exceeded certain limits.

She chose to do it in style on X, explaining that this wasn't the first time she had been attacked.

« You may have heard of recent comments made on Tennis Channel during coverage of the WTA Finals that focused on my appearance rather than my performance. As an athlete who has dedicated herself to this sport, I was disappointed to see these types of unprofessional comments about my appearance rather than my performance.”
« This is not the first time something like this has happened in the world of sports. I have often chosen not to speak out, but I think it is time to address the issue of respect and professionalism in sports media. These moments distract from the true essence of my sport.

In a final tweet she further specifies: “I am passionate about sport and the dedication shown by all the athletes on the field. I love tennis deeply and want to see it represented in a way that honors the commitment we make to compete at this level.”
