Tennis doesn’t always dominate the headlines and yesterday in the case of Bianca Andreescu and Nick Kyrgios, this was certainly the case.
What the former US Open champion posted on Instagram last night was very interesting.
Andreescu was referring to the fact that both Canadian men’s players Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger Aliassime matches were being shown but not her own.
This meant her family and friends and fans struggled to support and watch her in action on Court 14.
The former world number four came through against American Emina Bektas 6-1, 6-3.
But her post raises the argument again that there is a gender bias in tennis and sport towards men’s coverage over women’s.

When the Canadian broadcasters could have shown one men’s match and one women’s match in a fair outcome.
As it happened, Shapovalov struggled but overcame Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in five sets.
But Auger Aliassime was not so lucky as he lost to American Maxime Cressy in four sets.
Kyrgios loses his cool again
And how often have we seen fiery Australian Kyrgios lash out at spectators.
This happened again yesterday with the Canberra native spitting at a fan.
In a press conference afterwards, he admitted to the allegation.
“Of one of the people disrespecting me, yes. I would not be doing that to someone who was supporting me,” he said.
“I’ve been dealing with hate and negativity for a long time, so I don’t feel like I owed that person anything.
“He literally came to the match to not even support anyone really, just to stir up disrespect.
“That’s fine. But if I give it back to you, that’s just how it is.”
The All England Club must now decide what action to take against Kyrgios with The Guardian reporting that they are considering fining the Australian.
But others believe this doesn’t go far enough and that being banned from the tournament would reflect the nature and severity of the incident, which has again given bad publicity towards Wimbledon.
It remains to be seen what action officials will take in a never-ending series of controversies that continue to beset the talented Aussie.
