Fans triggered by Liudmila Samsonova's comments on Iga Swiatek, says it disrespects Aryna Sabalenka
WTAFriday, 27 October 2023 at 09:30
Fans on social media got triggered after a recent comment
made by Russia’s young tennis star Liudmila Samsonova.
The 24-year-old recently made a comment about the former
world number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek, who according to her is the ‘best player
in the world’.
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.
However, Sabalenka had a fabulous year at the highest level
where she ended up playing in the semifinal or beyond in all four Grand Slams.
She also won the Australian Open after beating Elena
Rybakina in the final with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

mandoist04-09-2026 - Double Standards for the male players? Gross. BTW: This "apology" reads like the one his lawyers wrote for him when he had to go to the Kangaroo Court for slapping his girlfriend around.mandoist04-09-2026

- Someone is not enjoying her gradual slide down the rankings, which became noticeable last season. BTW: That reporter's on to something familiar -- the effects of Social Media Stardom on one's Second Priority (Tennis). Shades of Bouchard, Giorgi, Raducanu, etc.mandoist03-09-2026
- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
