Aryna Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula at the WTA Finals but she blasted a fan following the math for being annoying.
Sabalenka needed to win against Pegula to keep herself in contention for a semi-final spot at the WTA Finals and ultimately she was able to get it. Speaking after the match Sabalenka jokingly blasted a fan for being annoying in a hilarious interview:
“Thanks everyone for your support, except from that guy… wait, wait, wait… Now you are sending me kisses but you were like so annoying. But anyway thanks, thanks for the great atmosphere".
On the match itself, Sabalenka added:
“I’m super happy that I was focused no matter what, I was focused on myself and on things that I have to do on court. And now I did everything that was under my control and I just leave it for the universe to maybe do something good for me, finally, this season."

- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
- Pulling out a tournament is not illegal. Therefore, that is no problem. Maybe they need more rest.
- It is simple. If you do not want cameras following you, get away from tennis and go find another job. Cameras and interviews are a part of the job. They do not mind cameras when they are winning. If the women tennis players would put the same amount energy to playing tennis as they do with complaints, women tennis would be exciting to watch.
