Overview
- Coco Gauff, speaking before her Stuttgart opener, urged Grand Slams to post clear signs and to restrict what backstage footage gets aired.
- Carlos Alcaraz recently said camera access in so-called private areas has become too much and asked for spaces where players are not filmed.
- The current flare-up traces to January at the Australian Open, when broadcasters aired footage of Gauff smashing a racket in a corridor.
- Gauff cited sensitive moments at risk, including her pre-match prayers and a lack of gender-neutral private spaces, and pointed to cameras zooming on players’ phones.
- No tournament or broadcaster has announced changes, and Gauff noted the WTA cannot set policy for the independently run Grand Slams.
