gonna have to request the espn announcers explain why they feel the need to discuss coco while commentating on sloane stephens’ match. like “you would’ve expected coco would be playing in this time slot” is such a choice during this particular match. you could’ve said that about any of the other handful of american women. what’s the common thread here.

#every grand slam is a new opportunity to compare one of the few non white womens players to each other with no real reason to #also using that absolute non sequitur as an opportunity to say that coco didn’t want the prime time slot because she’s ‘upset’#and because she hasn’t done well lately and that’s why #like you could’ve easily said she’s had a tough run and the Olympics sucked and she might want a lower stakes time slot #but like. why didn’t keys want to play in this time slot?? big return! big time slot!#just leave these ladies alone and try to learn from the racist stuff everybody did during the serena and venus era #also i don’t know much about tennis tournament organization but frankly i have to imagine the us open organizers #didn’t send out a google poll asking the ladies when they would like to play most #like it’s the employee holiday availability chart at the local macys
