Belittling towards a 19 year old girl?
Listen to yourself ffs haha.
Her career will either stand up to the scrutiny professional sport brings or it won’t.
Last time I looked there wasn’t some 19 year old girl category which protects her but nice try.
indeed time will tell
at present, she's 19, has a won a US Open and everyone seems convinced her career is over based on a few defeats since.
maybe if everyone got off her back she will potentially win a major again, she has years and years ahead of her. good luck to her.
Get off her back!? Come on in this day and age every successful sport person should know how the world works and social media! You need a thick skin and a top mentality…
Fair enough
just find it a shame so many young sports players have to have a tough mentality against social media abuse from their own 'supporters'

But crucially she did win one, something I'd suggest the vast majority of this board will never do.Obviously she's still incredibly young but you just feel there's a good chance that last years win was one of those freak things that occasionally happen and she'll never be able to repeat.
Hopefully I'm proven to be talking rubbish, again...
Agreed. This is the career she has chosen. If she wanted anonymity, she should have gone and worked in an office. The rewards on offer are great, of course. But when she got away to such a flier early in her career, she then has standards expected of her. Is it fair? Possibly not. But that's the world we're living in.Again, get off her back?
She is a pro Tennis player. Handle the heat or get out the kitchen springs to mind.
People are questioning why she was able to win a slam last year and hardly be able to win a match anywhere this.But crucially she did win one, something I'd suggest the vast majority of this board will never do.
If she never wins again it makes no difference, she still won a major and as a qualifier, amazing stuff.
Shame that she has been very sporadic since but shit happens.
I can never understand the fact that some people like to knock her and add in odd comments about becoming a model or the fact she earned 19m last year, at the end of the day, still won a major tennis tournament and it will be in the history books forever.
Good luck to the girl moving forward.
