Thanks.
Yes, this one is accessible.

An obviously disturbing story... and even more disturbing that there are several more stories of tennis and athletic sexual abuse listed at the end of this story.

Also... it seems that the photo editor for this story has a rather misplaced sense of humour, given the photo of Aranda with CiCi Bellis and another coach...

From the article:
Aranda is one of 77 people involved with tennis on the U.S.T.A.’s suspended or ineligible list because they have been convicted or accused of sexual or physical abuse.

Is it just me or does this seem like a very large number?

Thanks for sharing. Just awful. I’ve often wondered how comfortable parents are letting their kids spend so much time unsupervised with an adult, building that close, trusting relationship. I’m sure there are more stories like this - since there are 77 people in the list, and those are only the ones reported. So sad.

Back to Barty - so the last person ever to beat her is…?

If this is across the USTA (all levels), it's certainly a fraction of actual abuse, I thought it was quite low.

So, will USTA go through a process similar to what US Gymnastics went through?

We'll see. The USA Gymnastics story was broken by the newspaper in my city, Indianapolis, because that's where the organization is based. I know the journalist who sniffed it out and had the joint byline. I can't believe they didn't win the Pulitzer for that story. She works for USA Today now but still lives here. In the documentary about the scandal, called Athlete A, which the Indianapolis journalists were part of, I noticed the WTA logo on papers or reports that the journalists had. I couldn't read anything else. So there's already some connection. I tried to ask one of the journalists on the story there about the WTA thing and didn't hear back.

For sure. And those are just the cases that were reported and investigated properly.

Funny how Rafa's rib injury mysteriously made Thiem feel a lot better.
