The former coach of Serena Williams, Rennae Stubb


The former Serena Williams coach, Rennae Stubbs, has dismissed the allegations of “bullying” against her controversial comments by Andrea Petkovic on World 2 Iga Swiatek. Stubbs and Petkovic are intimate friends and run “The Rennae Stubbs tennis podcast” together.

Swiattek has been going through a hard patch in recent months, with his last appearance in a tournament ending dating to the France Open last year. Lately, he has suffered from the quarterfinals and the semifinals, the most recent is a loss of quarterfinals in Stuttgart.

In view of this, Petkovic, an old tennis pro, had some tips for the Pol. Speaking to the Becker-Petkovic podcast, which houses with Boris Becker, suggested that Swiattek should break a car with a baseball bat, call a plastic bag and party with Carlos Alcaraz in Ibiza to help recover from his struggles.

X (former Twitter) fans were not satisfied with the German comments and also dragged Rennae Stubbs to the conversation, calling the “bully” about the observations he had made days before at the podcast.

Stubbs, who previously coached the legendary Serena Williams, bewildered because his name was related to the situation of Andrea Petkovic and Iga Swiattek, especially since he had not made a comment on the five times Grand Slam champion.

“So you label me in reference to Petko's IgA comments. Then you say, did you not refer to Iga. Tell me I intimidated someone else? I mean confusing it is a underestimation at this time. You also try to understand the difference between the bullying and the criticism of the game,” said the former double specialist.

In the last episode of his podcast, Rennae Stubbs criticized the way Sabalenka addressed his team after losing.

Aryna Sabalenka recently suffered a wealthy loss in the Stuttgart Open Final in Jelena Ostapenko, marking her fourth defeat in a final. During the runner -up, he spoke of losing Porsche once again and mocked his team saying:

“Every year, my team (is) hoping to remove the car and lead it to Miami. No this year. So there is no car for you. Ha, he has to buy -one.”

Stubbs later shared his thoughts on this topic during a conversation with Caitlin Thompson on his podcast, saying:

“I am very tired that I go after his team when he loses with the sarcasm, I ended up.”

“You just thank your team or not and let them give them, because it's so aggressive passive and it's a bit annoying. And then try to laugh, and everyone is like,” Oh, it's not funny. “”

Both Iga Swiatk and Aryna Sabalenka are currently competing in the Madrid Open and have advanced in the fourth round. They faced the final of last year, where Swiatk went out to the top.
