Tennis is a sport played by both men and women and has given us some iconic athletes. The WTA has been one of the most interesting tournaments, witnessed by fans nowadays. Though many people love these tournaments and players, there are some who dislike it for various reasons. As people have their opinions, there will be both positive and negative statements regarding it.
Aryna Sabalenka, herself a high-ranked WTA player, made a statement that she enjoys men's tennis over women's tennis, which she finds more interesting. This led to a lot of controversy and reactions from fans on social media, with some criticizing her views and implying that she was insulting the WTA, and some who agreed with the statements. With this, many people gave their views comparing the two categories as well.
Iga Swiatek's firm answer
The Women's Madrid Open final was one of the best matches we have ever witnessed, with some of the most thrilling moments we have seen. Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka were part of one of the greatest games of the season so far, which went the full distance and ended with Swiatek winning the decisive tiebreaker. After the game, the world number 1 ranked player was approached with a mic where she straight away made a fiery statement, saying, "Who's gonna say now that women's tennis is boring?" To some people, this looked like an indirect dig at her Madrid Open final opponent's earlier statements.
We will never know if this was actually a statement concerning Sabalenka, who said she preferred men's tennis over women's, or just a general reply to people who are criticizing the game. It was still a great stand taken by the great athlete, who has shown that she is not only a champion on the court with her racket but also with her words on the microphone. This was a perfect reply to critics, especially after everyone witnessed a great game of tennis in the Spanish capital.
