Did Alcaraz play one match second at night?
"Did Alcaraz play one match second at night?": Stubbs backs Swiatek amid scheduling comments at Madrid Open
WTAMonday, 08 May 2023 at 10:15
Rennae Stubbs defended Iga Swiatek's comments about the schedule of the Madrid Open final and compared it to Carlos Alcaraz's match.
The former coach of Serena Williams commented on Instagram on Swiatek's remarks after she lost the Madrid Open final to world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, which was her first defeat on clay this season. After the final, Swiatek expressed her displeasure with the late-night schedule: "(it wasn't) fun to play at 1 am in the night."
Many fans on Twitter began discussing and debating Swiatek's comments. Rennae Stubbs joined the discussion in support of Swiatek and mentioned Carlos Alcaraz's match:
A user replied that the schedule is the responsibility of the TV broadcast, but Stubbs argued that the ATP and WTA boards should request an improvement in the schedule.
“TV does NOT decide, they request. The tournament director then works with the TV networks, the WTA & the ATP. They then decide based on many different factors,” wrote Stubbs to the fan.
The user again responded that it was a violation of the rules for Swiatek to criticize the schedule or the tournament, which Stubbs also disagreed with.
😂😂 come on! Do u know how many players have said things that are not positive publicly about a tournament. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. I can assure u the WTA will NOT be fining Iga. Also, Novak may have said it but u repeated it and u know its not true.
After her loss in Madrid, Swiatek traveled to the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome, where she defends her title and will debut in the second round against the winner between Sara Errani and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
