Why Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova asked, 'Why am I here?'

Linda Noskova, fresh from her Wimbledon title and ranked world No. 7, publicly questioned why sports outlet Outsports used her image to illustrate a story on the WTA's new genetic se testing policy.
The WTA's updated Women's Eligibility Policy, effective Tuesday, mandates a one-time SRY gene screening for all players, replacing an older framework that permitted transgender women to compete under certain testosterone and gender declaration conditions.
Screening begins in 2026. Noskova's "Why am I here?" comment drew significant reaction online, with fans questioning the editorial decision. The outlet has yet to
respond.
