The 2023 WTA Finals came with a turbulent twist. And this left fans and players befuddled. Everyone who was part of the finals could vouch that the event did not go as well as it was thought to be. Even after WTA issued an official apology, the debacle over player’s rights is still an ongoing issue that needs to be dealt with. Subsequently, Djoker’s PTPA also got sucked into this controversy.
The Serbian player’s PTPA has always maintained a pro stance for player rights. As he revisits the WTA Cancun debacle, PTPA Ahmad Nassar has clearly maintained a similar stance. He talked about several things. Let us look at what Nassar has to say about last year’s WTA event.
WTA vs Nassar
It has been over a month since the chaotic end of this year’s tournament. Recently, PTPA’s executive director has some fiery words to say about the whole debacle. In an interview with Tennis.com, Nassar said, “Gusts of wind were blowing the players’ visors off during matches because it was still hurricane season. Attendance was lackluster. It was almost comical but it was so sad, especially because the previous year’s finals in Fort Worth was also problematic.”
However, WTA gave no formal response to the whole deal, and this shows the lackadaisical attitude of WTA towards its players. And this set of Nassar off more and he further added, “But two years on a row? How did we end up, without a WTA Finals venue until deep into, or right after, the US Open?”
