I'd love to say "I hate to say it," but I won't because I believe it: the US women tennis players at these Olympics - previously so appealing - have come off as alternately arrogant, whiny, and bitter. Maybe they just fired each other up, and not in a good way.
"Arrogant, whiny and bitter": Tennis journalist lambasts attitude of American trio Collins, Gauff and Navarro at Paris Olympics

Tennis journalist Pete Bodo has described the American women’s tennis players' reaction at the Paris Olympics as ‘arrogant, whiny and bitter’. The tennis category at the mega-event is moving towards a conclusion as the remaining players are giving their all to secure the ultimate prize.
American women tennis players have been extremely expressive in the ongoing mega-event, showing their emotions on the field on more than one occasion. First, it was Danielle Collins, then it was Emma Navarro, and most recently, it was young Coco Gauff, who was emotional after losing in all three categories where she was taking part.
The 20-year-old lost in the singles category to Croatia’s Donna Vekic in the third round in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-2. On Wednesday, she lost in the doubles category as she and her partner Jessica Pegula lost to the Czech Republic’s pair of Linda Noskova and Karolina Muchova in the second round with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 10-5. On Thursday, the women’s number two-ranked player also lost in the mixed doubles category as she and her partner Taylor Fritz came second-best in the quarterfinal against Canada’s pair of Gabriela Dabrowski and Felix Auger Aliassime with a score of 7-6, 6-3.
Earlier, Collins was forced to retire in the quarterfinal against world number one Iga Swiatek. When shaking hands, the American tennis star apparently said something that left the Polish tennis star shocked. Bodo, a seasoned tennis journalist, criticised the behaviour of American women's tennis players in a post on the social media platform account X — which was previously known as Twitter.
The 75-year-old was of the opinion that American women’s tennis players come across as ‘arrogant, whiny and bitter’ in the event. “I'd love to say "I hate to say it," but I won't because I believe it,” he wrote. “The US women tennis players at these Olympics - previously so appealing - have come off as alternately arrogant, whiny, and bitter. Maybe they just fired each other up, and not in a good way.”
