However, Navratilova did not clarify herself or gave any specific reason. She just tweeted, “And this is why I don’t talk tennis here- bye boys and girls:),” indicating that they do not understand the reasons. Furthermore, she also criticized the Twitter user for not being confrontational about his/her point of view. She stated, “Thank you for the insults behind my back rather than my face. It’s all good…” 

The criticism did not end here, it further stated, “I deliberately didn’t tag you because I already know that you participate in hostile engagement with ordinary users like this and here you are doing it. Sorry somebody decided to draw you in even though you were inevitably going to be allergic to conversation, but it wasn’t me.” However, this is not something new for Navratilova and therefore, she did not indulge in it after that.
