His Dad walked out when he was 10. Your argument is invalid.

His mum was the one who tweeted. Hence the reference to his mum. Perhaps if his dad had made a statement to support his son as well there would be grounds to acknowledge that in a random comment.

Nick - do you see me laughing? I was merely explaining - in entirely neutral terms, so I don't know why you're offended - why Carolina might have praised the mum and why there was no casual sexism involved. It may make you feel 'smart' to go "AHA look I caught you out in casual sexism too", but in this case there was simply no grounds to imply such an attitude in Carolina's comment. Andy Murray's mum tweeted to support her son, obviously any references would be in first instance made to her. And, bef you say "lmao then y u so butthurt then about reporter's comment in a male tournament", she didn't say "ALL thanks goes to your mamma for raising you right", which would have baselessly ignored the father's achievements, and equivalent to what this reporter essentially did to women by saying Murray was the "FIRST US player".

Sheralyn, you're the 'casual' report in this case, 'casually' laughing it off.
