Sky News host Rita Panahi says Tennis Australia has succeeded in portraying Melbourne as “some dystopian backwater” unworthy of a grand slam tournament.

“Wouldn’t it be refreshing if the Australian Open organisers focused their energies purely on running a world-class tennis tournament.

“Rather than trying to appease leftist activists or doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party.”

Rita who?

WhereIsPengShuai Let’s fight against dictatorship

Yes off it goes to Asia next year

Let Panahi speak for herself!

Sky news is a dystopian backwater, everytime you engage Rita and her opinions.

Haaa!! You lost us all at “Rita Panahi”.

Who is Rita Panahi again ?

Scomo refusing a handshake at a funeral.

It’s tough being woke, elitist, PC and into cancel culcha. It can bite you in the ass!

I didn’t realise TA gave visas to people to enter the country. The things you learn from these “journalists” hey. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤡

RitaPanahi AustralianOpen is rocking ! Please enrol yourself in some tennis 🎾 grand slam tutorials 😇😎 AusOpen

Mmmmmm …..

Murdoch rabble wouldn’t have a clue.

A child of ten understands why TA did what the did. But then, no child of ten would want to be a rejected & scorned Sky After Dark RWNJ spewing inane crap to an audience of 42 barely literate halfwits. I can’t think of a more embarrassingly dystopian occupation in the world.

Actually RitaPanahi having attended the last couple of nights the tournament is buzzing and the atmosphere is great even at Dans - 50% !

When I think of tennis authorities, Rita Panahi is the first person who comes to mind...

Panahi is awful, no one listens to her opinion

“Rather than trying to appease leftist activists or doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party.” Was that directed at the Morrison government?

Hopefully novak will never play this politicised rubbish tournament again. This circus embarrassed any Australian with more IQ than teeth and that isn't many

Rita always starts the day by smearing egg on her face. It saves time.

Sick of Rita, arrogant and self opinionated. Pretty much done with anything to do with Sky News

Rude woman. Not helping the cause by making it political . Good luck in the Green Party disgrace

Seriously, Craig Tiley you have got to go. 🤦
