- All this points to entitlement and elitisms. If you're no longer ranked high enough, you work for it like most everyone else (the Williams' seem to be able to demand their freebies). And for Wozniacki to even broach the "... it's all about who you know" subject is absurd since that afforded her an easy-in upon (at least) the first tourney upon her return. Self-absorbed personalities might best stick to TikTok and stop invoking privilege when it comes to qualifying for tourneys.
