She has yelled at Swiatek on courtroom throughout their matches. As a member of tennis media, she has continued to thinly veil her excessive dislike for Swiatek.

I needn’t see or hear her glee when Swiatek loses. It is unprofessional and unbecoming. The Tennis Channel employs many former gamers: Jim Courier, Lindsey Davenport, Chanda Rubin, and Martina Navratilova to call a few. None has ever behaved like this.
