Wildcard Tennis Player's Debut Sparks Backlash Over Performance and Wildcard System

Egyptian wildcard Hajar Abdelkader's debut at the ITF W35 Nairobi tournament has drawn significant backlash after a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Germany's Lorena Schaedel. Abdelkader won only three points, hit 20 double faults, and had a 8.3% first serve percentage. The match, lasting 37 minutes, has sparked widespread online criticism and renewed debate over the fairness and selection process of wildcard entries in professional tennis.
