Thread on #TennisJournalism (or yellow journalism). This person @thomgibbs wrote a smear piece for the "Daily Telegraph" comparing #Djokovic to a "TERRORIST" while calling #Kyrgios the "Voice of the Nation"!

I mean... what? 🤪 Check it out. 1/6
"TERRORIST" Djokovic is criticized for not "reading the room" due to his requests on behalf of players, which consisted of evil things like asking for healthy food and gym equipment for quarantined players. 2/6
