"At 6-5 in the third set tiebreak, my opponent started moving me left and right and I just couldn't do it. Fighting systemic racism, depression and cross-court forehands is just exhausting and I'm not getting paid nearly enough for this. At the net, as I shook her hand, I told Anisimova that if she wants me to instruct her about systemic racism and the burden of people of color, she needs to venmo me. I'm done doing that for free. She just blurted out something in russian. Whatever.

Please tell me this is not a real quote and instead is just someone trolling.

I was trolling. But it could be true.

And yet she achieved barely nothing.
she is the highest paid sportswoman in the world. 4 of the top 5 are tennis players and none of them is alive in the tournament (Williams sisters not really playing anymore, Muguruza also out). performance is not paramount in female sports.

your genius is wasted here

The funniest thing is that the Williams sisters have almost never been the highest paid right? Sharapova always made more money I thought, and then whatever hot young thing

It doesn't seem to be in male sports either. The highest paid man has a 100% loss record from 2021.
