In 2022, Ajla Tomljanovic played the best tennis of her career but in a recent interview with Tennis MAGAZIN, she opened up about what bothers her about the sport.

For the first time in her career, the 29-years-old Australian will finish a year in Top 35 of the WTA Rankings and at her home Grand Slam in Australia, she can even be one of the seeded players. However, it seems that Ajla Tomljanovic would like to express herself more on the court as she revealed during an interview.

"I wish there were more emotions, more space to express yourself. Tennis has become strict. I understand it's a gentleman's sport, that's great. But it would be nice if we could show more emotion without getting a fine right away," Ajla Tomljanovic said.

"From Croatia I have what I was born with. My parents are Croatian. We have joie de vivre, fighting spirit in us and love to fool around," Tomljanovic continued. "It's kind of like the Australians. They understand fun and know how to joke with others."

"Australians are always outside, in a good mood. They love to party and have fun. They are sociable, friendly and open. The food is fantastic. I love to have breakfast and drink coffee. The Australian lifestyle suits me."
