Former doubles number one Rennae Stubbs came out in support for Daria Saville believing her to be more deserving of the WTA Comeback Player of the Year Award.
It's not the first time Stubbs is saying that as she made a comment on the ward a few years back when a fan asked her whether Serena Williams deserved it. Stubbs recently coached Williams at the US Open and remains a passionate fan of the sport. She said that in her mind, Daria Gaville deserved the award the most and she's now doubled down after Tatjana Maria got it.
Stubbs shared her thoughts on Twitter writing:
"Love Tatiana Maria but she played for 6 months in 2021 after her 2nd child. As much as I adore her, @Daria_gav
deserved this award. She was #421 to start this yr after being out all
of 2021 after another surgery & ended it at #53. Remember, she
didn’t play last year at all."
