It\u2019s a fine line between the player promotion and the event promotion and where the cameras are now.\u201d He noted there are \u201cmany places\u201d on the site that are players only, with \u201cno cameras in the general corridors going in and out of the areas.\u201d He said there are cameras when \u201cwalking on the court,\u201d but leadership will \u201ccontinue to review it and make sure that the players are comfortable with it.\u201d At the same\u202ftime, Tiley noted they \u201calso want to bring the fan and the player closer.\u201d Tiley: \u201cIt\u2019s a fine line that we\u2019ve got to keep walking\u201d (\u201cTennis Channel Live,\u201d Tennis Channel, 1\/29).<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-events-and-attractions \">PLEA FOR CHANGE: The WTA said that calls from players for \u201cmore privacy away from the court at tournaments were entirely valid\u201d after Gauff\u2019s comments. REUTERS\u2019 Shrivathsa Sridhar noted Swiatek, Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova were among the players \u201chighlighting the lack of privacy and the WTA agreed steps should be taken.\u201d WTA Chair Valerie Camillo said, \u201cThis is a very human and fair request &#8212; athletes need spaces where they can recover and not feel constantly under scrutiny. Providing that space is part of our responsibility as a sport\u201d (REUTERS, 1\/29).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/Articles\/2026\/01\/30\/tiley-will-consider-player-concerns-over-privacy-at-australian-open\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Tiley adamant to listen to players concern over privacy at Australian Open https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/Articles\/2026\/01\/30\/tiley-will-consider-player-concerns-over-privacy-at-australian-open\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":208210,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/resizer\/v2\/C3JEUJOAUNGEVEQHXTZ2PUG26Q.jpg?smart=true&auth=21b788ad88d95e5ffe1671510a58f23753d3066a3b8e53dce6edd1bedaf7963b&width=1200&height=630","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-208209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208209"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":208211,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208209\/revisions\/208211"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
