The women's tennis tour defended the court built for the WTA Finals as meeting its 바카라strict performance standards바카라 after No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka called the conditions at the season-ending championship 바카라another level of disrespect.바카라 At least two of the eight singles players at the event that began Sunday complained about the temporary outdoor hard court in Cancun, including saying that it was not ready earlier to allow for more practice time before the competition.

바카라Honestly, it's another level of disrespect from the WTA for the players, because sometimes they don't even feel safe to move on this court. That's not the level I expect from the WTA Finals,바카라 Sabalenka said Sunday night after beating Maria Sakkari 6-0, 6-1 in one of the opening matches in round-robin play.
바카라Thank you for this challenge I'm facing right now, to kind of like learn how to adapt quick to the conditions. Thank you for that. But this is not something I expect from such a high- level tournament,바카라 said Sabalenka, who won the Australian Open in January and was the runner-up to Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open in September. 바카라And I'm really happy that I'm able to ignore all this.바카라
Another player who was in action on Day 1, 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, said after her straight-set loss to Jessica Pegula: 바카라About the court, I don't really want to talk, but of course, it's not good. ... Everything was late and (there was) no time to fix anything.바카라
The venue for this year's WTA Finals was not announced until last month, under a one-year agreement with Cancun.
바카라We'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. The team has worked diligently on an expedited timeline amid weather challenges to ensure the stadium and court meet our strict performance standards," the tour said in a statement.
