'I'm not a fan of the cameras' - Pegula and Swiatek say players need more privacy

Six-time major champion Iga Swiatek says players are being watched "like animals in the zoo" by behind-the-scenes cameras at the Australian Open.

Coco Gauff was captured smashing her racquet in a corridor in the players' area at Melbourne Park on Tuesday, leading the American to call for more privacy.

The Australian Open has shown footage from the players' zone in the bowels of Rod Laver Arena - which includes the gym, warm-up area and the corridor from the locker room - since 2019.

Camera access is more restricted at the other majors.
