“It would be nice if we could show more emotion without getting a fine” – Ajla Tomljanovic on tennis becoming too “strict”

Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic recently spoke about the changes she wished to see in tennis.

In a conversation with Tennis MAGAZIN, Tomljanovic opined that the sport had become too “strict” and said it would be nice if players could express their emotions without the fear of being fined.

“I wish there were more emotions, more space to express yourself,” said Tomljanovic. “Tennis has become strict. I understand it’s a gentleman’s sport, that’s great. But it would be nice if we could show more emotion without getting a fine right away.”

The 29-year-old also reflected on her Croatian heritage and how it was similar to Australia where she lives, adding that the lifestyle Down Under suited her.
