Chris Evert Called ‘Annoying’ During Tense Naomi Osaka–Amanda Anisimova US Open Clash

It was Amanda Anisimova who finally came out on top at the end of her three-set thriller with 4x Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. Now, the Belarusian tiger lies in wait for her in the summit clash, hungry to get back at her for the Wimbledon upset. But as the dramatic semifinal match went on, the tennis community found an annoyance. 

As always, the world of tennis thrashed the former world number one-turned-ESPN commentator for her subpar commentary. And the fans flooded X with their viewpoints when Evert kept revisiting the reference about the players’ coaches. Of course, Tomasz Wiktorowski (Osaka’s coach) and Hendrik Vleeshouwers (Anisimova’s coach) are pretty big names in the tennis realm. But when Evert kept repeating their references, the fans got agitated.

Chris Evert takes are very condescending and it’s so annoying- @usopen @espn I mean coaching is literally LEGAL- The top men gets coached play by play- and that’s all she keeps referencing like we get it, players should figure it out. Noted. Please move on- #OsakavsAnismova

Let’s see what the tennis fans had to say…

Fans refuse to listen to Chris Evert as Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova battle at the US Open semifinal

One fan claimed that Evert was pretty annoying. And the reason? According to the fan, Chris Evert seemed stuck at only one reference. The comment read, “Chris Evert takes are very condescending and it’s so annoying- @usopen @espn I mean coaching is literally LEGAL- The top men gets coached play by play- and that’s all she keeps referencing like we get it, players should figure it out. Noted. Please move on- #OsakavsAnismova.” Another fan added to the sentiment and wrote, “Can someone ask Chris Evert what she thinks about players looking to their coaches for input. I’m not sure we know her opinion after commenting on it 742 times….”

Furthermore, a few fans thrashed Evert for her apparent favoritism. According to some people, she was supporting Osaka a bit more than Anisimova. One fan noted that and wrote, “Is it even possible for Chris Evert to suck up more to Osaka during this match?  Just be quiet!” Another fan called out her bias and claimed, “Perhaps you could encourage Chris Evert to call a match  with less bias. Renee Stubbs is great. Pam Shriver needs to go.”

Meanwhile, one of the fans decided to make a quick suggestion. According to him, Evert could possibly go on a break. It wasn’t necessary to say something after every single shot. The comment read, “Chris Evert is fine if she would not have to make an obvious comment after every shot. Take a break.”
