Sabalenka feels ‘disrespected’ by WTA at Cancun finale

World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka said she feels “disrespected” by tennis’ governing body and claimed the hastily built court being used for the WTA Finals at the Mexican resort of Cancun is “not safe”.

Sabalenka eased past Greece’s Maria Sakkari 6-0, 6-1 in her group-stage opener on Sunday but that didn’t prevent her from taking aim at the organisation.

“I have to say that I am very disappointed with the WTA and the experience so far at the WTA Finals,” the 25-year-old from Belarus wrote on Instagram. 

SPONSOR AD

Cancun was only confirmed as the host city of the prestigious season-ending championship on September 7 after Saudi Arabia had reportedly been lined up to stage the event.
