i think the current player that mainstream tennis fans have decided to hate en masse is ben shelton which is probably the most obvious case of barely disguised racism in a while from the tennis community. heres this kid just having fun and really just starting his career in the past year but he’s black so they have to find fault with him. also i think ppl really hate confident players (like ben) in general which is crazy because you need confidence to win thats basic mental tennis knowledge
#literally how could you hate him hes such a sweetheart#super powerful player and lots of fun to watch what more do you want#i havent seen a lot of nepotism accusations because i think everyone knows theres no arguments to be made with that#since like 1/3 of players parents are tennis pros lollll#but i have seen a few. again its definitely the racism#tennis fans need to learn the difference between confidence and arrogance.. esp when they cheer for ppl like novak and stef etc etc#tennis
