Whereas the WTA doesn’t usually touch upon energetic investigations, we imagine it’s essential to make clear this matter attributable to current public statements that misrepresent the scenario. We won’t present additional particulars at this time limit.”

“In fact I am probably not pleased with the scenario,” she stated. “I am not pleased with the feedback which I see, particularly from the people who find themselves on the tour. It is energetic coaches, commentators. I do not assume that it is honest.

“The one factor I can say is, like, he by no means mistreated me. I’ve respect to him for the whole lot he did from the very starting after I was [ranked] 200… You may identify me different coaches who had the identical success with gamers who’ve been 200 after which profitable Grand Slam and being within the high.”
