Polarising Margaret Court interrupted match with phone ringing as Tennis Australia had no knowledge of her attendance
Tennis NewsWednesday, 24 January 2024 at 04:00
Legendary tennis star and a polarising figure Margaret Court interrupted the Australian Open match with her phone ringing.
The 81-year-old was not allowed to attend the competition because of her homophobic remarks in 2020 which led to calls for a complete ban from the competition.
However, Court was seen sitting in the front row during the current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic’s quarterfinal against America’s Taylor Fritz where he came out on top with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

As per the Age, Tennis Australian officials were not aware that Court managed to sneak into the arena. Four years back, Tennis Australia distanced itself from the legendary tennis star after she spoke against the LGBTQ+ community.
“As often stated, Tennis Australia does not agree with Court’s personal views, which have demeaned and hurt many in our community over a number of years. They do not align with our values of equality, diversity and inclusion,” Tennis Australia said back then.
Court remains one of the greatest players in the history of tennis in the women’s singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles in her career. Her most successful competition was the Australian Open where she lifted the title 11 times.
