Fans reacted to the suspension of the semifinal match at the WTA Finals between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek.
The problems persist in Cancun during the Finals. The tournament has not provided the best conditions for the tennis players due to delays in court construction and the preparation of the infrastructure.
Moreover, difficult weather conditions have added to the issues, with strong winds during the matches and constant interruptions and suspensions of games due to rain. It's worth noting that the central court does not have a roof.
Fans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction, particularly after the recent suspension of the semifinal match between Swiatek and Sabalenka, which also led to the postponement of the final to Monday.
Additionally, the doubles match between Coco Gauff/Jessica Pegula and Laura Siegemund/Vera Zvonareva also had to wait an extra day to conclude, with the German-Russian duo emerging victorious.

"Anyway I need Steve Simon to be apologizing in a downtown Los Angeles hotel on this fairly ugly carpet," some fan tweeted.
"Top world tennis players sitting on court covered in towels hiding from the rain. F***ing ridiculous. WTA you’ll pay for your crimes," the fan said.

“#WTAFinals Play has been cancelled for tonight. @WTAFinals @WTA did an incredible job to choose the location this year 👏 Unfair to players, spectators, ball kids and all staff involved. @TennisChannel”
“This schedule shows how you completely disregard doubles players. Jessica is set to play the singles final tomorrow and she may have to play 3 matches today? How is that okay towards her?”
