Weird rxn. Sometimes your comments are funny even if in poor taste but why would it be weird flex for a media company to say which athletes have trended in search? Plus these aren’t surprising results

By the looks of it, Twitter will not let Reilly live his “vote” controversy down anytime soon.
Not more wierd than your tweets

Not as weird as using your big platform as a top 40 tennis player to tell people not to vote.

Opelka’s 2022: on and off Twitter
Reilly Opelka has had his share of controversies in 2022. From allegedly dating Venus Williams to giving out his bold opinions on the Fernando Verdasco ban, fans have not made it an easy year for Opelka. He was slammed for almost every controversial opinion he tweeted. The most controversial comment, however, was him mocking Coco Gauff when the teenage sensation asked fellow Americans to vote.
On the ATP Tour, the junior Wimbledon champion was at his career-high ranking in 2022. He was ranked the world no. 17 in singles and the world no. 89 in doubles. Opelka also reached the third round in the Australian Open 2022. He won two singles titles this year- at the Dallas Open and the US Men’s Clay Court Championships. Opelka has been in good form this season and with the upcoming Australian Open, he will be looking to be at his best.
