Hot mics, Andreeva ‘diva’ drama and a stopgap finale at Indian Wells bail out the WTA | Tumaini Carayol

Finals have hit California desert after stormy few years and pre-tournament kerfuffle has added to the fun Towards the end of a positive day for Mirra Andreeva, one of the brightest young stars of women’s tennis, the 19-year-old approached the broadcast cameras to dissect her excellent 6-4, 6-0 win over Elina Svitolina in her first match at this year’s WTA Finals. Andreeva took her place alongside Madison Keys, the 2025 Australian Open champion and a guest reporter for Sky Sports at Indian Wells, who greeted her with a mischievous smile: “Hey, diva!” Keys said.

Pegula, who had just finished a practice set with an angsty Andreeva, described her rival as a “diva” who “needs to be humbled”. Her comments instantly spread to all corners of the internet.

‘I’m going to tell the truth. Screw this!’ Billie Jean King at 82 on coming out, tearing up tennis – and her one big regret

She was the world No 1, whose fight for equal prize money changed women’s lives. As competitive as ever in her ninth decade, she discusses sexuality, tenacity and what it was like to finally graduate college this year Every day, Billie Jean King tries to come up with a “gratitude list” in her head, identifying the people who have played a part in making her life so fulfilling.
