- Don't like her... never liked her. She's a condescending (fill in the blank). That said -- WTA is failing the players by allowing these camera operators to hover over, or next to, players -- especially while physio teams are working on their exposed areas, etc., etc., etc. There should be a safe distance rule. Also: let's not forget it was the cameras taking closeups across the court and literally resulting in revealing "upskirt" views (hence the ladies now place a towel between their legs at the bench). This is not a hard choice!mandoist21-05-2025

BTW: Been watching these damn drones at sporting events -- a major accident waiting to happen in crowded venues like tennis courts. Not to mention they are super distracting.mandoist16-05-2025
