Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, who lost 6 (7/3)-7, 0-6 to Iga Swiatek in her opening match, joined World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in hitting out at the WTA and the state of the court at the season-ending Finals.
Sabalenka on Sunday said she felt "disrespected" by the WTA, the governing body for women's tennis, saying that the hastily built court in the Mexican resort was "not safe."
