Tennis stars call for more player privacy at Australian Open
Players such as Jessica Pegula, Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic have weighed in on the debate over camera usage at major tennis events. The trio has expressed concerns that too much attention is being paid to players outside of competition hours, likening themselves to zoo animals.
Coco Gauff had previously raised her own concerns about cameras being used away from the court. Now, she's found herself in a rare position where she's not alone with her thoughts on the matter.
While fans can't get enough of tennis stars' lives out of competition, it seems there's room for them to enjoy some private time without constant scrutiny.

. I mean, we all need a break from the cameras and the paparazzi, right? It's like, can't we just have a little bit of peace and quiet without them following us around everywhere? 
Coco Gauff said it best when she compared being filmed outside the court to being in a zoo - that's some harsh reality 
. I think it's time for the Aussie Open to give players more space to breathe, you know? It's not like they're trying to hide something from us fans... they just wanna chill and enjoy their lives off-court 
. I mean, sure, they're public figures and all, but can't they just chill at home or on vacation without everyone watching their every move? 
It's like we're being poked and prodded with cameras everywhere! I get that it's part of the game, but sometimes a girl just wants to relax and enjoy some peace 
. And btw, zoos are not exactly the best comparison - those animals don't have social media accounts! 
... I mean, sure, we want to see the players in action, but do we really need to know what they're eating for breakfast or whether they're dating someone new? 
It's like we're watching them live their lives instead of just playing tennis. And don't even get me started on how embarrassing it is when they make a mistake - the whole world gets to see it! 
I get that the players want some privacy, but honestly, can't they just set boundaries for themselves? Like, maybe limit their social media or something? I'm all for them having control over their own lives, you know? 
. It's like the world needs to know every single detail about our lives - tennis stars or not! 
Maybe the tennis association needs to reevaluate how much coverage they give us out of competition hours? It's not just about Coco Gauff or those other two, it's a bigger issue - we deserve some peace and quiet too! 
I think players have a point about their personal space being invaded
