People Slam US Open Tournament!
Sep 07, 2018
Recently in US open tournament Novak Djokovic won against Australia’s John Millman. On the tournament day the weather was extremely hot and players could be seen struggling with the heat more than playing against each other. Millman who was sweating hard due to the humid climate left the court to change while Djokovic was seen sitting back. He then took off his shirt there itself and viewers were shocked. After the incident people started slamming the tournament organizers for its double standards. They said as French tennis player Alize Cornet was charged with a code violation as she changed her shirt on the court, why Djokovic was spared though he sat shirtless! Here are people’s reactions on it:
Checkout the tweet shared by journalist Kirsten Acuna:
It is so hot inside Arthur Ashe that Millman just left the court to change his shorts b/c he supposedly can't get the ball out of his shorts. Meanwhile Djokovic is just chilling w/ his shirt off #USOpen pic.twitter.com/RYeKFGZ3FL

So Novak Djokovic can chill on court shirtless like he’s at home but a woman wearing a sports bra can’t even turn her top around w/o being penalized? Fix the double standards #USOpen2018

So @usopen this is ok, but a girl in a tank top raises eyebrows? @DjokerNole is attractive and all, but #doublestandard #notok pic.twitter.com/DUogzCCUtR

Gotta say the best part of the heat is seeing the Ace shirtless and having a laugh out there ???? #USopen #Djokovic ????

Did he get a penalty like @alizecornet ? No double standard or anything.

I adore both of these players but I detest the hypocrisy displayed by the US Open to allow Djokovic to sit in his chair bare chested. Women can’t change their shirt with a gym bra top on without hysteria!!
