Tennis players are enduring the long quarantine in Australia where they will play the first major of the year. However, as predicted, things were not as smooth and many players are (too) keen on venting their displeasure and they are using social media to make things even more complicated.
Pablo Carreno-Busta, Fabio Fognini, and Corentin Moutet complained about the quality of the food that they received in their room. Benoit Paire decided to make the most out of it … and go for McDonald. Why not?
Good look while the world descends further into a pandemic, jobs, businesses and lives being lost on a catastrophic scale. You are being put up for free. Going to make a minimum of $100,000 and can order UberEats etc. Beggars belief.
