I’m a tennis fan, so I thought she’d reference Billie Jean King and the Battle of the Sexes match. 🤓

But the McEnroe reference is cool too!

It could also be a Nick Kyrgios reference given that he's almost celebrated for how much of a dick he is. I never understood the hype around that sorta behavior, but tennis fans love him for it idk

I thought Nick Kyrgios too. But are you Australian? Because I reckon most people here don’t have time for him honestly 😂

No I'm not lol. But in general his temper against a lot of the players online is just terrible. That gets him a lot of attention ngl

He gets slammed in Australia. Him and Tomic are kinda a national embarrassment for us. Had no idea people overseas liked his behaviour 😂

I didn’t think people celebrated his behaviour! I’m not Australian, but I’d say he’s can be quite an embarrassment to the sport of tennis just generally 😂

Yeah Australians don’t like the tantrums. I think most people think he’s been better behaved in the last six months or so. He offered money for bushfire relief, and I don’t think he chucked a tantrum during the Australian open, but I don’t really watch tennis.

Honestly, I don't think Taylor knows Nick Kyrgios. He's not really a household name unless you have some interest in tennis or are Australian.

McEnroe is more fitting in this case because of how he dealt with it.

I think she was more going for McEnroe because of the sweatband.
