“Selfish” Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer blasted over Australian Open qualifying woes

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have been blasted for failing to speak out on behalf of lower-ranked players. Canada’s Brayden Schnur, who protests against playing condition during Australian Open, said that the duo are too busy “thinking about their legacy” rather than what’s good for tennis. “It’s got to come from the top guys – Roger and Rafa are a little bit selfish in thinking about themselves and their careers,” Schnur told AAP. “Because they’re near the end and all they’re thinking about is their legacy and they’re not thinking about the sport itself and trying to do what’s good for the sport – so those guys need to step up.” On the conditions, he added: “You feel super dryness in your throat. ‘That’s 100% not normal and players who have asthma are at a huge disadvantage right now.” Source- Metro
