Stubbs praised Andy Murray for his call to increase female coaches in tennis.
The former
coach commended the British tennis player for expressing support for greater
female representation among coaches in both the ATP and WTA tours.
Former
world No. 1 Andy Murray, highlighted the noticeable lack of women working as
coaches in the professional tour and expressed his hope for positive change in
this regard.
"It's
really important. It's something I've found surprising on both tours, but
particularly on the women's tour. How few female coaches there are. It's time
WTA had an initiative to help. It's something that needs to
change," said Murray.

Stubbs, who
previously worked with former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova, also held agents
responsible for the decisions they make.

may I add, agents are also the ones that don’t take the leap either and all too
often agents are the ones making those decisions," sheadded.

Andy Murray
worked with two female coaches, his mother Judy Murray, who taught him tennis
at the beginning of his career, and former world No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo. The
British player partnered with the Frenchwoman after parting ways with Ivan
Lendl and expressed regret for not winning a major title with her.
"It's
one of my regrets that I didn't win a Grand Slam when I was working with her -
for a lot of people that was considered a failure. I feel that she was harshly
judged by a lot of people, purely because she was a woman," he said.
Andy Murray announces he has split from his coach Amelie Mauresmo after two years.

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
