‘Animals in a zoo’: Swiatek backs Gauff call for more privacy

MELBOURNE: World number two Iga Swiatek on Wednesday backed Coco Gauff’s call for more privacy during tournaments, saying players sometimes feel “like animals in the zoo where they are observed even when they poop.” Third seed Gauff was upset when cameras caught her smashing her racquet in the depths of the stadium on Tuesday after she was beaten in the Australian Open quarter-finals. The American was trying to find somewhere private to let out her frustrations, rather than doing so on court in front of fans including children.
