There is a lot of buzz about the upcoming Next Gen Finals in Milan. This should be an interesting week as new rules will be applied and the top youngsters in the world will fight for a new title. Unfortunately, on Sunday, things got extremely trashy during the draw event, and that has become the topic of the moment in the Milan event.
What happened?
The youngsters had to choose a model that had hidden somewhere in her body the letter “A” or “B” that would have determined the group of the choosing player. Things got extremely trashy when the model had to reveal the letter usually with a rather inappropriate dance.
The critics
The event that was organized by the ATP with the Italian Olympic Committee and Italian Tennis Federation. It drew many critics (and for a reason!) also for the fact that the participants were youngsters aged between 18 and 21 that should be the best prospects in the world in the years to come and you don’t want them to be linked to this sexist stuff. Shapovalov & C. should carry positive messages of a healthy sport to the world like their predecessors, definitely not the ones carried in Milan.
Let’s hope this was just 1 huge fault, and they will stop this nonsensical trash. We want to see tennis, that stuff can be seen in cheap bars.
This is what happens when there is no supervision. TERRIBLE
