Somebody to root against in the Australian Open- RWNJ Tennys Sandgren

Before the Australian Open, not many in Australia would have heard about the aptly-named American tennis player Tennys Sandgren.

Now that the underdog has reached an unprecedented spot in the Australian Open quarter-finals —beating Austrian eighth seed Dominic Thiem to get there — Sandgren is experiencing far more spotlight on his career, as well as his social media activity.

And several of his tweets have now raised questions over his political views, after he argued over the Pizzagate conspiracy and mused over former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her supposed involvement in alleged satanic rituals.

Sandgren also recently retweeted white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes — who went along to the Charlottesville rally in 2017 — and follows a host of right-wing figures on Twitter.

Desire the many upsets during this tournament, if Chung doesn’t beat him, he will definitely lose in the next round (barring opponent injuries).
