Barbora Krejcikova took to the sports media over comments about her forehead. Earlier, journalist Jon Wertheim casually said on the Tennis Channel: Who do you think I am? Barbora Krejcikova. Look at the forehead when Krejcikova and [Qinwen] Zheng take the court.
After this, the Czech woman wrote on Twitter: Perhaps recently on air during the final you heard a discussion of my appearance, and not the results forecast by baseball livescore . As an athlete who devotes herself to sports, I was disappointed by such unprofessional comments. This is not the first time this has happened in sports. I usually choose not to speak out, but I think now is the time to emphasize that sports media needs professionalism and respect [for athletes]. Such moments distract from the real essence of the sport and the hard work of the athletes. I love tennis very much and want it to be represented at the same high level that we compete at.
Wertheim then apologized: During the off-air broadcast, I said something that I deeply regret. I acknowledge them and ask forgiveness for them. I immediately contacted the player and apologized to her.
What happened? I joined the Zoom conference. During the run-through, we were shown a screensaver with tennis players who had just finished. She [Krejcikov] was shown from an angle that magnified her forehead. A few seconds later I was asked to turn on the camera, I looked into it and joked that my forehead looked like a photo of the player in question. Someone in the studio spoke and I answered. This was a closed run and the dialogue was random and aired without context.
I understand that I am not a victim on our site. This was not unprofessional or uncharitable on my part and does not reflect who I aspire to be. I am responsible for this, I accept it. I`m sorry.
