'Victoria Secret models need to start playing tennis'- Renowned tennis journalist shamed for throwing shade at Beatriz Haddad Maia’s 'clown' photoshoot

Renowned tennis journalist shamed for throwing shade at a couple of tennis players for their recent interactions on social media. One of the lead editors of Tennis Channel had recently made a few comments about tennis star Beatriz Haddad Maia that got the fans riled up. 

The Brazilian star had posted a picture via Jimmy Photography, where she was seen posing with a bowl of popcorn in her hand. In what seemed like a puzzled look, the tennis player had given a picture-perfect pose. While the post was fabulous, a journalist did not take it in the same way, and sparked a controversial debate online. 

Calling the WTA players “clowns”, the journalist had stated that he would like the players to be more stylish than clown-looking. This statement got the fans riled up, who bashed the journalist with his shameful comments. 

Victoria's Secret models need to start playing tennis according to some tennis experts. That would be lots of fun...and injuries, I fear   posted a fan, bashing the journalist

Many fans followed suit, questioning the journalist’s integrity. With the current involvement of social media in sports, any negative comments receive a lot of counterattacks from the fans, who do not let any critic get away.
