An Australian tennis star has called out influencers for attending the Australian Open despite not knowing anything about the sport. In a video posted to TikTok, tennis player Charlotte Nicholls said it should be 'general knowledge' to know about a sport if you are watching it live.

Her post came after fashion label Selfie Leslie shared a video to social media asking influencers at the Australian Open whether they understood terms including deuce, advantage point and serve. 'I just saw a video of some influencers at The Australian Open answering some simple questions about tennis and they got none right,' Charlotte said.

'I just thought it was general knowledge to know a little bit about tennis.'. Charlotte continued: 'Then I realised when I took my friends to one of my tennis games, they had absolutely no idea what was happening, they didn't know anything about the lines, scoring and they were screaming during the points.'.

Her followers agreed, with one writing: 'You are totally right, like learn a little before attending! I don't play tennis, I've never held a racket but i love watching it and wish I could go to AO.'. 'I had these thoughts too girly!! I grew up in tennis so that video had me shook,' another said.
