Swiatek echoes complaints at the WTA Finals after Sabalenka calls out ‘another level of disrespect’

Associated Press  

CANCUN, Mexico — Three-time major title winner Iga Swiatek and reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova joined the chorus of competitors at the WTA Finals criticizing the playing conditions at the season-ending championship for women’s tennis. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka called the conditions at the season-ending championship “another level of disrespect.” The WTA defended the court as meeting its “strict performance standards.” “Obviously it’s not a positive thing for any of us,” Swiatek said after defeating Vondrousova 7-6, 6-0 on Monday. “And I’m really happy that I’m able to ignore all this.” Another player in action on Sunday, 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, said after her straight-set loss to Jessica Pegula: “About the court, I don’t really want to talk, but of course, it’s not good.. Everything was late and no time to fix anything.” Each of the past five editions of the WTA Finals has been held in a different city. “We’re pleased to host the WTA Finals in Cancun for the first time and worked hard to construct a stadium where the world’s top eight women’s tennis players and doubles teams compete head-to-head.
