birdwatcherSexism row erupts at Australian Open after Eugenie Bouchard and Serena Williams are asked to 'twirl' on court!
Bouchard had just beaten Kiki Bertens 6-0, 6-3 in a second round match at Melbourne Park when she was interviewed by Ian Cohen, a Channel 7 tennis commentator, on court. Cohen asked Bouchard - one of the favourites for the first grand slam of the year - to twirl, to which the player replied: "A twirl, like a pirouette, here you go."
The incident immediately provoked a backlash on social media, with fans and pundits pointing out that a male player would never be asked the same question.
Какая отвратительная гомофобия!
