It is rare a player ranked 49th in the world would attract a crowd that virtually brought a grand slam tournament to a standstill.

The comments section on the videos of her matches are toxic as fuck, and not in the way you think. Lots of tennis fans are pissed off at her because of the fans, which isn't really her fault.
