Journalist who mocked Krejcikova's forehead fired

Jon Wertheim, unaware that he was on air, sparked outrage after mocking Barbora Krejcikova's forehead. Initially provisionally suspended, he was finally dismissed by Tennis Channel.

The Czech player responded to the mockery by saying that it was "not the first time such a thing has happened in the world of sport" and that it was "time to respond in the name of the need for respect and professionalism".

The commentator had wished to explain himself and acknowledge his wrongdoing in a press release. This was not enough for him to keep his job at Tennis Channel.
