It is subtle, but:
They flipped Barty's image. She is not left handed.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Sports Illustrated?!? Oh dear. I was thinking a random tennis outlet upon seeing that kind of egregious mistake. Yikes!

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
They mistakenly used a picture of Kristyna instead of Karolina. Thus the blond hair and left handed grip.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Your intentionally wrong guesses at the problem with the photo are hysterical. It is sort of like a variation of the "Caption This" contests, but it would be closer to a "Miscaption This" contest.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
And well, Yahoo tries, but they can't get a proper tennis coverage:
So, a story about Amelie Mauresmo and you put a shot of... who is this woman? Is she even a tennis player? (she looks familiar).You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
I think it's Alicia Molik. Molik is the current Australian Fed Cup Captain, and the shirt the woman in the photo is wearing says Australian Fed Cup on it.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Ah, I see. So, somebody made a search for "tennis players with AM initials" and ALICIA comes before AMELIE.
Sole explanation I can think of.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
The photo's metadata might be wrong. And it might include "France" if the photo was taken there (but Australia hasn't played a Fed Cup tie in France in recent history, so that's dubious). Maybe the automatic photo editor does use the initials as a search element.
And/or... the photo editor or whoever thought, "yeah, that sound right, there was an A and an M" and called it a day.

But, but...
Danillo does not have to worry about the Russian ban for Wimbledon. He is Italian! Not to mention, the ban has not taken effect yet, so he cannot be back in the tour AFTER it.
