Fans on social media got triggered after a recent comment made by Russia’s young tennis star Liudmila Samsonova.

Those comments did not go down well with the fans on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter.

Swiatek lost her number one crown after a disappointing outing in the US Open where she was knocked out of the tournament after losing to Latvia’s Jeļena Ostapenko in the round of 16 with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.

That opportunity was grabbed with both hands by Sabalenka who ended up playing in the final of the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year.

However, that proved to be not a memorable outing as she ended up losing to America’s young tennis sensation Coco Gauff with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
