World number one Sabalenka easily defeated Maria Sakkari 6-0 6-1 but took to social media afterwards to criticise the arrangements for players.
Aryna Sabalenka has hit out at the WTA over the organisation of the WTA Finals in Mexico, saying she feels “disrespected”.
Writing on Instagram, Sabalenka said: “I’m happy that I was able to stay focused tonight, overcome the conditions, and play well. This is the third year in a row that a late decision has been made about the host of the tournament, with Guadalajara stepping in in 2021 before it headed to Fort Worth in Texas last year, where the main headlines were about poor attendance.
