WTA chair Valerie Camillo has apologized to American tennis player Jessica Pegula following a "diva" comment made about Mirra Andreeva that was inadvertently live-streamed. The incident occurred during the Madrid Open.
Camillo acknowledged the error and expressed regret in a statement. The comment was not intended for public broadcast and was made during a match involving the young Russian player Mirra Andreeva. The apology was issued directly to Pegula, who is a prominent figure in the WTA and a vocal advocate for player welfare.
