Annabel Croft: Periods are 'the last taboo in women's sport'

Former British No.1 tennis player Annabel Croft says discussing periods is the 'last taboo' in women's sport and says Heather Watson was 'brave' to come out and talk about it.

Speaking in reaction to Heather Watson’s recent comments of "girl things" playing a factor in her first round defeat in the Australian Open, Croft said “I think Heather is pretty brave to come out and speak about it so openly.”

“I thought discussing women’s monthly issues was the last taboo… It seems to be one of those issues that is swept under the carpet and a big secret.”

"Women dealing with these issues at any time is hard enough but actually trying to go out there and play high level sport...it's just really unlucky."
