Andrea Petkovic Gives a Harsh Rebuke to the WTA: "There Are Things That Anger Me a Lot.."
As one of the directors of WTA Berlin 2025, Andrea Petkovic wants everything to go perfectly. The former star of the women's circuit, who now works as a presenter, analyst, and also within the German tournament, harshly criticized the WTA organization on her social media channels, explaining how a tremendously interesting interview with Wang Xinyu, a surprise finalist in the tournament, was terribly wasted by her social media team. She accused the WTA team of being unable to 'sell' the different personalities that prevail in women's tennis to the public.
"I was in charge of conducting the post-match interviews and had the pleasure of chatting with Wang Xinyu. She was funny, witty, smart, with better jokes than the successful comedians on Netflix. However, the WTA posted an edited clip on their social media that made her sound like any other player. All her personality and humor were left out, edited. These things make me terribly angry, as the unique and distinctive personalities of each player are what make tennis so special. Showing these personalities to the world, so that all fans can see them, is what should be done, not leaving them out." Will there be a response from the WTA?
