https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/sport/tennis-kenyan-tournament-goes-viral> New details are now emerging about how Abdelkader found herself to be hopelessly out of her depth in a professional tournament and at the mercy of tennis commentators everywhere. In a statement to CNN Sports, Tennis Kenya said that Abdelkader had been admitted to the tournament as a wild card – essentially a tournament invitation that bypasses the need to qualify for the main draw of a tournament or earn a place through the rankings system. > The organization said she submitted a formal request for the wild card and had flown into Nairobi on Tuesday morning. A tournament slot became available when another player withdrew on short notice and opted into the qualifying draw.>“At the time, Ms. Abdelkader was the only other player who had requested a wild card,” the statement explained.>According to the limited details on her ITF player profile, Abdelkader has been playing tennis for seven years, since she was 14, but many found that hard to believe as she resembled a fish out of water on the court. In a highly technical game, you stand out if you barely know how to hold a racket and Abdelkader often struggled to get the ball over the net.>She made 20 double faults, and she only won three points – all of which were gifted errors from her opponent. At times, it seemed as though Abdelkader didn’t even know where to stand for her serve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsDPcwwKcZQ

>>152884275>At the time, Ms. Abdelkader was the only other player who had requested a wild cardDoesn't sound like a particularly prestigious tournament anyway.
>>152884275>W35>AfricaThis is the memeiest of the meme low tier tournaments that don't have anyone ranked in the top 1,000. It's not rare at all to see inexperienced people in these tournaments. It's funny to see someone who had never held a tennis racket before enter though.
