Caroline Garcia turned down $270,000 betting company offer for her tennis podcast

Retired French tennis player Caroline Garcia has turned down a $270,000 sponsorship deal for her podcast from a betting company. The 32-year-old Garcia remains connected to the sport through the Tennis Insider Club podcast she created with her husband Borja Duran. She explained her decision on social media, emphasizing the need for a platform where players can speak openly without pressure. The former world No. 4 has highlighted the negative impact of betting on athletes. She believes accepting the offer would contradict her mission to inspire and support the tennis community. Garcia won 11 WTA titles and the 2022 WTA Finals.
