"Give me a break. No chance, no chance": Rennae Stubbs responds to opinion player complaints are hurting WTA Finals as a tournament
WTAFriday, 10 November 2023 at 13:00
Former world number one Serena Williams’ ex-coach Rennae
Stubbs has lambasted journalists who were of the opinion that players who participated
in the recently concluded WTA Finals should not have complained about the
issues that occurred in the event.
The tournament concluded on Monday in the Mexican city of
Cancun where Poland’s Iga Swiatek emerged victorious after beating America’s
Jessica Pegula in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-0.
The world number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka, Kazakhstan’s Elena
Rybakina, Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova and others complained about the
overall organisation of the event.
Stubbs was recently quoted in a report where she stated that
players who qualified for the event with all their hard work had all the right
to complain if there were any issues.
“Give me a break. No chance, no chance,” she said. “If I'm
there as a WTA top eight player and I've worked my a*s off all year I've
supported your tournaments. I’ve gone and played your mandatory WTA 1000s when
I don't want to f*cking play because I'm injured or I'm tired; You're forcing
me and you're also fining me, okay.
“I can tell you a
million stories from behind the scenes that I won't because I know agents and I
know players and I know that the history of this tour and I'm super supportive
of the tour. Tennis is my favorite sport, clearly, and I want it to succeed.”
