It was a reasonable thing to mention, not goofy. We seem to be drifting towards treating players too preciously in press conferences. It shouldn't be gratuitous, but you should be able to ask tough questions and raise unpleasant subjects and mention things players don't want to hear. (I wouldn't intentionally tell Adrian Mannarino his next opponent, because I know he doesn't want to know that. But if I didn't know that was a player's preference, I wouldn't have a second thought about telling him.)
Svitolina third round win over Svitolina you wrote? Who did she actually beat , i guess this was a typo
Typo indeed! She beat Jasmine Paolini, thank you for catching that.
