"I just told her I didn't respect her as a competitor," Navarro said of the exchange, per AFP. "I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don't respect."

"She told me she doesn't know how I have a lot of fans," Zheng said. "It looks like she's not happy with my behavior toward her. If she's not happy about my behavior, she can come and tell me. I would like to correct it to become a better player and a better person."

Zheng clarified that she wasn't upset by Navarro's words. "I'm glad that she told me that," Zheng continued. "I will not consider it an attack because she lost the match."

this is one of three times a US tennis player has acted like a sore loser in the past several days:

Danielle Collins scratches her match due to "injury" as she was losing. After her Polish opponent congratulated her on her career, Collins calls her "insincere" before walking away. She then played doubles 2 hours after her supposed injury.

Coco Guaff argues with chair umpire after losing to Croatia, says "this always happens to me" while crying. (i think some people are debating if her gripe was somewhat fair, but i feel like implying the judge is always out to get you is definintely doing too much. at least she didn't disrespect her opponent 🤷)

    also a heads up, this bot is stuck on a comment and a post and has been spamming the modlog for hours

      Mod deleted comments probably shouldn't be editable for reasons I posted below and assumed they weren't for those reasons.

              you keep speaking to me without having done any investigation

              bit unnecessarily harsh 😭

              Okay so after some testing, it seems that you can edit a post after it has been removed, including the link and the post body. For a comment, you can edit - as in you can press the edit button - but the text that was previously there is gone. This must be something new in the 0.19.5 version because I know for a fact that it used to preserve removed comment text before that. Moreover, the compliance with editing the comments and posts after the bot removed them was 0%, so even if it were possible to edit the removed comments, it was clearly too difficult/inconvenient, so i changed how it works.

              Thanks for letting me know about the modlog spam as well.

              And thanks u/GalaxyBrain for the feedback in your first comment otherwise I wouldn't have looked into this.
