Overview
- Coco Gauff used the Stuttgart tournament to renew privacy complaints, saying she even had to ask crews not to film her pre‑match prayers, as organizers there said cameras stay on court and in non‑sensitive areas.
- Alexander Zverev said TV footage once showed him typing his phone unlock code, which he called a step too far for off‑court access.
- The WTA said it has begun reducing camera coverage at some events and expects tournaments and broadcasters to address players’ concerns.
- Players including Gauff and Eva Lys urged clear signs and defined no‑filming zones so athletes know exactly where cameras are allowed.
- The surge in behind‑the‑scenes filming grew during the COVID period to keep fans engaged, and Laura Siegemund now describes cameras in nearly every room at major events.
