"I am really tired": Rennae Stubbs criticises Aryna Sabalenka for passing sarcastic comments about team after losing finals

Ex-coach of the former world number one Serena Williams, Rennae Stubbs, has revealed one thing she does not like about Aryna Sabalenka when she loses the final. The 27-year-old, who is widely regarded as the best player currently playing in women’s tennis in the singles category, has had a mixed season this year according to her own high standards.

Sabalenka, this year, has featured in four finals, where she ended up losing three of them. Her first defeat this year came in the final of the Australian Open to America’s Madison Keys with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 7-5. She then lost in the final of the Indian Wells to Russia’s young tennis sensation Mirra Andreeva with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Her most recent defeat in the final of an event came at the Stuttgart Open, where she came second-best against Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-1. Sabalenka’s only win in the final this year came at the Miami Ope,n where she defeated America’s Jessica Pegula in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-2. Stubbs has recently spoken in her own podcast where she stated that she has now become tired of Sabalenka’s sarcastic comments about her team after losing the final.

“One thing I am getting a little bit tired of with Aryna, and listen we all love the histrionics and the crazy in the speeches, but I am really tired of her going after her team when she loses with sarcasm,” said Stubbs. “I’m over it. When she loses it’s just like at this point, alright, stop telling your team hey guys great job today every time. It has gotten stale. So we have got to up that. Got to thank your team or not, and stop giving them s—. Because it’s so passive aggressive and a little annoying. And then she tries to laugh and it’s like it’s not funny.”
