Tennis arena DJs everywhere, take note: Destanee Aiava wants you to turn the music up. The Aussie says tennis should take a cue from sports like boxing and have players choose what tracks should play when they enter the court.
“Can somebody on the player council put forward a request for walk on songs that we choose ourselves,” she asked last week in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
She thinks her idea would add “so much spice” to head-to-heads where two players have a complicated history.
“Especially if [you and your opponent] have beef and [you’re] throwing shade from the get go with your choice of walk-on song,” she wrote.
