I seriously believe that 90% of the tennis players are more fun pro s then serious pro s who will win titles , back in the days before social media the young players where there to win , week in week out .
In the top 10 its serious buisness but in the top 100 or higher there are too many lifestyle players instead of pro players .
A good bikini photo and enough followers is more important then to clim up the ranking
True
And you can also earn (a lot) money as Influencer on Instagram.
Just look at Carina Witthöft. She even said it I think. No motivation to work hard in tennis ...
Easy to just post some photos on Instagram and some clips (to keep some ... people entertained ...)
There is a reason why for example Halep or Barty have so much success.
They are not that obsessed with Instagram like many other (especially younger) players.
Yes, sad. And not good for the quality of WTA.
Likes and followers. Do they not have anything other to do???
Instead the young players should work to improve their forehand, serve etc.
