Chris Evert always stands up for what is right, and anyone who follows the ‘Ice Maiden’ on Twitter will know that she is not averse to voicing out her opinion on different issues or topics. But, when she recently attempted to give her views to a speculative question this time, she felt like a victim of an April Fool’s Day prank. Not just her, Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios, 27, also felt victimized by the joke that featured the reigning US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz.

On April 1st, a day known for practical jokes, the official Twitter handle of the US Open published a post that generated uproar. It was post about the future of tennis, and thus, many tennis players became interested in the situation despite not knowing the post’s genuine intentions.

After seeing this post on Twitter, the 18-time Grand Slam champion shared her concern over the ‘use of AI in tennis’.

She wrote, “Wait…..what?? Aren’t the players supposed to be thinking on the court? Players can be coached now, isn’t that enough? Maybe after the match, study the AI?” After sharing her unhappy opinion about artificial intelligence, she was alerted by her fans and the tennis world that the post was a prank on the occasion of April Fool’s Day.
