She probably had the choice of knocking herself out to try and stay top ten or just embrace the offers she was getting and devote more time to making money off court.
I guess I was just pointing out that good looks, a heavy social media presence and a savvy personality will get you further than ability a lot of the time and that is a bit wrong to me and sending the wrong message to a lot of kids but thats seems to be the way these days with influencer's making a career out of ordinary folk following them and Genie is more of a influencer than a Tennis player these days.
