Coco Gauff new car sparks controversy among fans

Published

on

Coco Gauff ended the 2024 season on a high note by winning one of the biggest trophies of her career so far. She defeated China’s Qinwen Zheng in a three-set thriller at the final match of the 2024 WTA Finals.

 

 

 

 

Although Gauff’s season ended with that impressive win, there is still no end to the controversy of Saudi Arabia being the host of this iconic tournament. A few months ago, WTA signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia which mentioned them as the host of the event for three years. However, as soon as this announcement was made, it sparked a series of protests. The tournament is over, but it’s still facing a major backlash for its strategy for hosting the WTA Final

Prominent figures in the tennis world including Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova have time and again voiced their opposition to the decision of picking Saudi Arabia as the host for this tournament. Reason? According to various reports Saudi Arabia has faced international criticism for its human rights practices, lack of gender equality, and even for the death penalty. So, both Evert and Navratilova felt holding the WTA Finals in Riyadh sends a wrong message and undermines the values of equality and human rights that tennis stands for.

They claimed taking the WTA Finals to Saudi Arabia would represent taking a significant step backward.
