Tennis Pro Dahlia Saville ranks 108th in the world and is one of Australia’s top 10 best players.
Saville expressed disappointment at the lack of opportunities with brands as companies turned their eyes to wives and girls of some of the world’s top players, rather than investing in the players themselves.

She rang out in a video posted to her Tiktok account on wednesday. She screencaped the video.
“Let’s talk a bit about brand deals,” she began. “Tennis aesthetics are there now, right? It’s all over, but female tennis players don’t get those brand deals. In fact, they’re not our sweaty tennis players, they’re tennis wags that fit the ‘aesthetics’.
“We spoke to some influencer WAGs and they are surprised we don’t get the same opportunity. Are athletes not as ties with the audience?”
Saville said there was a video of her husband Luke Saville preparing to go and see her performance improve on social media than the “Day in the Life” video.

“I don’t know. All we do is think about tennis. But I have a personality, but it’s salty right now. Of course, top tennis players have a big sponsorship. Do you think the marketing team is too niche compared to Wag?
“To be honest, it’s a mental blog for me that the brand is soaking influencers for their campaigns during the Grand Slam, and I’m definitely not the only female tennis player who feels that way.
