It is ridiculous how some of the American players have been asked in their post-match press conferences about how they feel about representing America and playing under its flag.
Aside from the fact the current situation in America is not relevant to a tennis tournament, the premise of the question is flawed. They are not representing America. They are private sportsmen and sportswomen making their living.
The Australian Open is not the Davis Cup, or Federation Cup, or the Olympic Games where players do represent their countries. There are no teams, no national anthems and no one is playing in national colours.
Amanda Anisimova was right to give one pathetic “journalist” short shrift.
