“I know what it feels like to break a racquet. I’ve done it few times in my career. I know how it is to be frustrated, particularly after a match where you underperform.
“I agree with her. It’s [a} really sad that you can’t basically move away anywhere and hide and – what do you call that – fume out your frustration, your anger in a way that won’t be captured by a camera. But we live in a society and in times where content is everything, so it’s a deeper discussion.
“I guess it’s really hard for me to see the trend changing in the opposite direction, meaning we take out cameras.”
