Rennae Stubbs criticised after posting inaccurate Australian Open viewers graphic: "You may wish to issue a clarification"
WTA
Former tennis player Rennae Stubbs was criticised after she posted fake numbers of the ATP and WTA final of the Australian Open that showed the WTA final being more watched.
Stubbs probably didn't know the numbers she was posting were fake and the chance to promote women's tennis felt too good to pass upon. The initial post of Stubbs showed that the WTA final had around 130.000 more viewers than the ATP final which is a significant number considering that generally, men's finals are for more watched than women's.
Her tweet said:
"Don’t tell me Women’s sports isn’t worth sponsoring or showing on TV!"
The numbers were however fake as the men's final actually drew twice as many viewers as the women's final. Fans were not kind in the comments.
One wrote:
"Just another day of Rennae spreading misinformation. Embarrasing."
Fellow media member Stuart Fraser added:
"Hi Rennae. As I thought earlier, the ratings in that graphic you tweeted earlier are indeed misleading (correct numbers below courtesy of Tennis Australia). You may wish to issue a clarification or even delete given the amount of shares that piece of misinformation is getting?"
Another fan added:
"Anyone could’ve done that photo and made up some numbers to go with it. Where is there source"

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
