Iga Swiatek backed Coco Gauff’s calls for more privacy at the Australian Open, saying that players are made to feel like “animals in the zoo” due to the surveillance of behind-the-scenes cameras at the tournament, while Novak Djokovic said he is “against” the constant monitoring.
Gauff was captured smashing her racket seven times following her quarter-final defeat to Elina Svitolina on Tuesday and was frustrated to see her outburst immediately shared across social media.
