Aiava replied to the post stating: 'Good job triggering my ED [eating disorder]'. The Victorian tennis star, who is currently ranked No 195 on the WTA Tour today secured victory in her second-round qualifying match against Hungarian star Panna Udvardy, sealing the win 6-4 6-1.

The disgusting comments came after journalist Ben Rothenberg had shared an image showing that Aiava was wearing a pink Nike dress that matched the one Maria Sharapova wore at the 2012 US Open during her first day of qualifying. Rothenberg noted the moment writing: 'Fun archival fashioin moment: Destanee Aiava is wearing the same pink Nike dress design for her 2025 Australian Open Qualifiers match that Maria Sharapova wore way back at the 2012 US Open.'.
