Ebden calls out ageism in tennis

MELBOURNE: Matthew Ebden called out ageism in tennis locker rooms and beyond. Accidental or motivated stereotyping.

"We see sexism, but there is a thing called ageism," the Aussie said. "We see it a lot in media, people, culture, whatever. I see it. We see it."

Ebden has the oldest partner on the ATP Tour in India's 43-year-old Rohan Bopanna and people are talking.

"Guys say, 'Oh, he's so old, too old'. What I've heard in the last year now. I'm like, Guys, watch how the guy plays tennis. What does age have to do with it?"

Ebden asked. "For me, it's a lesson in that because look at what's possible."
