"Once again, I am disgusted": Tennis fans rant as Kontaveit court situation not rectified despite schedule change due to Wimbledon rain delay
Tennis NewsWednesday, 05 July 2023 at 14:00
Anett Kontaveit's likely farewell match is one of first on court today at Wimbledon against Lucrezia Stefanini but despite rain delays meaning the schedule changed on mass, her court did not sparking outrage again.
Kontaveit, the World No.2 only last year was put on Court Six after having it changed from her initial court allocation.
This a court that as Twitter user @Some1NamedRyan has pointed out consistently has no seats and limited standing room meaning her retirement will likely be a timid affair.
Woefully thoughtless at best
Amid other matches getting moved, hers wasn't which saw Twitter users react accordingly.
"Honestly, though. It just seems needlessly mean at worst, woefully thoughtless at best," one user wrote.
"We need to delete court 6 just get rid of it- they can’t keep putting anett on court 6 if it doesn’t exist !" another tweeted.
Another wrote in response to this tweet: "Anett was #2 in the world.At the very least - kindly give her a court with SEATING so fans and spectators could see her playing in her potentially LAST match and give a proper send-off Wimbledon. Let’s hope she can go thru R2 and see if Wimbledon gives her a better court."
More users pointed out that Jodie Burrage who is not even in the top 100 has received Centre Court billing but being British gives priority similar to Roland Garros so it would've been an unlikely switch anyway.
