"You can't compare today's girls with them": Karolina Pliskova admits WTA has image and marketing problem since Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova
WTAThursday, 21 December 2023 at 01:59
Czech Republic’s tennis star Karolina Pliskova believes that WTA is suffering from a marketing problem after the retirement of the likes of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.
There has been discussion about who is the face of women’s tennis, especially after the retirement of legendary Serena. Pliskova was recently quoted in a report where she stated that WTA has been dealing with a marketing problem in the recent past.
“I guess not only I feel that it’s not easy entirely ideal, even though each of today’s top girls has something to offer,” she said. “I won’t comment on the tennis, but charisma plays a role too. Sharapova and Serena were huge personalities, even in the marketing world.
“You can’t compare today’s girl with them. And I think that in this situation, the WTA isn’t helping much either. It doesn’t seem to me that they promote it well. Women’s tennis now seems sidelined, not as many people go to it as before.

“When I was playing well and these big names were still active, the level of everything around was higher. Girls have groups on WhatsApp, they discuss it. But I don’t comment on it, changes take a long time and I don’t want to put energy into it. I am not at the beginning of my career anymore so it goes beyond me.”
