... the gift of schadenfreude that keeps on giving.

Don't know why I dislike her, I've only seen her speak for half a minute, but nonetheless I do

You seem nice

Neveryoureye77 · 18/01/2023 15:28

She’s only 20 years old. Leave her alone.

DoorstoManual · 18/01/2023 15:29

Gosh aren't you delightful ?

ofwarren · 18/01/2023 15:29

Wtf?
She's only young, leave her alone

RegainingTheWill2023 · 18/01/2023 15:30

Racism and/or misogyny. HTH.

You sound vile.

My money is on both.

ilovesooty · 18/01/2023 15:31

I feel desperately sorry for her.

DahliaMacNamara · 18/01/2023 15:32

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Forthelast · 18/01/2023 15:32

I'm sure she's deeply troubled not to have your good opinion.

Don't you have irrational mild dislikes?

I can't imagine being so invested in a random 20 year old stranger's life that I enjoyed bad things happening to them, tbh. Very weird behaviour.

thing47 · 18/01/2023 15:34

Why would anyone dislike a 20-year-old woman who they have never met and barely heard speak?

I just don't get it.

NoNewsIsGoodNews · 18/01/2023 15:34

You sound like a Jeremy Clarkson/Piers Morgan type. You know, the kind of bitter person that likes to criticise young women in the public eye.

Get a life.

Greatly · 18/01/2023 15:35

I'd step away from the PC or turn your phone off for a bit OP.

Movinghouseatlast · 18/01/2023 15:36

Christ, how nasty. She is a young girl. She is very good at tennis. You hate her???

defi · 18/01/2023 15:36

This is an inside thought op

Blimey! Seems you’ve picked the wrong person to have taken a dislike to!

Hbh17 · 18/01/2023 15:37

Please leave her alone. She was catapulted into the spotlight most unexpectedly at 18 years old, and actually coped remarkably well. She comes across as a smart, thoughtful young woman. Once she has built up her fitness and ground out a few steady months on tour, I think she will go on to have an excellent career.

If I did, I'd keep them to myself, rather than inviting other people to join in an attack I knew was irrational.

Dotjones · 18/01/2023 15:38

YANBU. I don't particularly like her even though there's no particular reason. I think it's a British thing, we generally like to see people get to the top through hard work, she just appeared from nowhere and won a big tennis tournament.

I think a lot of the people who say "YABU!" are probably hypocrites to some degree in that most people meet or see others who they instinctively like or dislike. Like nobody needed to tell me bad things about Piers Morgan for me to have a negative opinion of him.

drpet49 · 18/01/2023 15:39

She seems to be injured all the time now. Maybe a one trick pony.
