"Are you the father of this tennis c*nt? May he end tennis and life soon."

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.

She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
