"Seriously does she know what a double bounce actually is": Rennae Stubbs hits back at tempesterous Jelena Ostapenko after Brisbane outburst
WTASunday, 07 January 2024 at 10:00
Ex-coach of the former world number one Serena Williams, Rennae
Stubbs, has hit back at Latvian tennis star Jelena Ostapenko for her outburst
during the Brisbane International.
The 26-year-old took a dig at the sitting umpire for awarding a
point to her opponent Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinal of the competition.
During the changeover, the 2017 French Open winner was heard lashing out
at the chair umpire.
"You make so much mistake. With three bounce. I never
want you on my match again,” she said. “You will never be on my match. You will
never be on my match. I don't want you on my matches. You ruin my match. Final
in Linz I will never forget. Never.”
Stubbs, in a post on her official account on social media
platform X — previously known as Twitter — has hit back at Ostapenko and
questioned whether she is aware of the rules in tennis.
“Umpire Julie Kjnedlie must just look at her schedule when
she gets Ostapenko and say “oh bloody hell”… seriously does she know what a
double bounce actually is?????,” she wrote.
Ostapenko went out of the competition after losing to the
former world number in the last-eight clash with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.

- 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
