Tennis Pro Daria Saville is ranked No. 108 in the world and among the top 10 players representing Australia.
Saville expressed his dismay with the lack of opportunities with brands, as companies have approached wives and girls to some of the best players in the world instead of investing in the players themselves.

She sounded in a video that was sent to her Tiktok account Wednesday. She screened the video, “brands choose Wags (wives and girlfriends) rather than actual athletes … why?
“Let’s talk the brand for a moment,” she started. “Tennis -Aesthetics are you right now, right? It’s everywhere, but female tennis players don’t get these brand offers. It’s actually tennis -wags that fit into ‘aesthetics’ rather than us sweaty tennis players.
“Talked to a couple of influencer guards and they are surprised that we are not getting the same options. Is it that athletes are not as relatable as wags to the audience?”
Saville said a video of her who got ready to see her husband, Luke Saville, priested better on social media than “Day in the Life” videos.

“I don’t know. Is it our personalities that all we do is think about tennis? But I have a personality and it’s salty right now. Of course, the top tennis players have their great sponsorships. Do marketing teams think that tennis players are for niche compared to a wag? Is it all glamorous life compared to sweat life?
“Honestly, it’s blogging to me, feeling pickling -influences their campaigns under Grand Slams. And I’m definitely not the only female tennis player who feels it that way. Marketing girls, why is it? Sorry if I came across Salty of. I’m done here.”
