I am referring to the current ATP and WTA No 1's - Novak and Azarenka.
Their behavior on and off court does not exemplify the classy, elegant sport of tennis.
I am talking about things like
- Novak mimicking Serena on court (tucking towels inside his apparel)
- Azarenka Shrieking
- Novak ripping his shirt after wins
- Azarenka walking into the court like a hippie girl with an ipod listening to rap songs tuning out the crowd and not acknowledging the fans when she comes in
- Azarenka MTO
- Novak and Azarenka have no clues or perspective about past tennis greats, icons or records ( interview question about Gussie Moran is one example)
I think this is the reason why players like Federer, Nadal, Kim Clijsters are loved by fans and when they are at the top, the sport receives a huge image boost because they carry themselves so well on and off the court.
I think Murray to some extent will help the ATP as he matures , but i think WTA is in for big trouble unless Radwanska picks up.
What do you think ?
