Tennys Sandgren, the Tennessee-born Trump supporter,

Sandgren, who has retweeted members of the alt-right, didn’t seem worried about his Twitter habits.

The 97th-ranked Tennys Sandgren – an American who had been more accustomed to plying his trade on the Challenger circuit – was his latest victim in a closely contested 6-4 7-6(5) 6-3 quarterfinal clash at Rod Laver Arena.

Chung admitted previous wins over world No.4 Alexander Zverev and six-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic to reach the last eight would likely have sparked an interest in the sport he ranked as a distant fifth in popularity back in his native South Korea.

“I think all the people is watching Australian Open now because we make history in Korea,” Chung said before he admitted he would not go quite so unnoticed back home after this Australian Open. “I think sure, yeah. Getting better and better all the time now.”

Tennys Sandgren rips media for alt-right questions while Serena requests an apology

Tennys Sandgren’s run to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open ended on Wednesday with the Tennessee native falling in straight sets to Hyeon Chung, a rising 20-year-old star from South Korea.

The story of his controversial Twitter account, however, did not end. After his loss, Sandgren ripped the media for questions about tweets that seemingly favored alt-right ideologies and Serena Williams tweeting that an “entire group of people … deserves an apology.”

From the above link

Earlier in the week, the 26-year-old was asked pointed questions about his Twitter account, which featured many likes and responses to controversial alt-right figureheads like Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones. Sandgren denied that following or responding to such accounts was a tacit endorsement, even if some of his responses to tweets concerning transgender rights and black and Muslim-Americans seemed to prove otherwise.
