The video clip of the match ran wild over social media. Where many people found it funny, others found it unpleasing. They hate how the females were ignored and the males tried to flash their charisma but actually flashed their gender biased mindset.

If you watched the video, you'd understand.
You have a Tag team; male and female.
However, the males decided (maybe not deliberately) exclude the females from play, only hitting the ball to each other while the females watched. They got fed up and walked off the court— Dark Horse (@whimsicalgod) January 15, 2018
It’s a good sign!!!

Many called it toxic masculinity and said that they are disappointed with this kind of behavior from one of the greatest male tennis star. However, it is nothing more than a mid-match fun.
Clearly, this Roger Federer did this for the sake of fun but his action did not seem to please many. The act triggered the feminists. Moreover, someone called it gender-biasing which seems quite exaggerated. What do you say? Is it funny or is it a case of sexism or misogyny? Share your thoughts in the comments.
