Mladenovic criticizes the new 'look' of the WTA circuit: "The previous logo was much better"

In this world, it doesn't matter what you do, or how much love you put into things, there will always be someone to criticize it. Sometimes, even people from within and directly related to the matter. Yesterday, the WTA announced a remodeling of its brand, unveiling its new logo, colors, and website design. 'A new stage,' according to the commercials. But for Kristina Mladenovic, currently outside the top 200, it doesn't seem to have thrilled her. 

"I wonder how did this come to you? And who approves it? Green and white? Without any tennis details? What does it represent? The previous logo was much better," expressed the Frenchwoman on her social media, strongly criticizing her own circuit. What do you think? Did you prefer the previous design or the current one?

Kichenok explains why she didn't shake hands with Mladenovic: "She threatened me.."

A notable controversy arose during the 2025 Australian Open on Tuesday when Kristina Mladenovic and her partner Zhang defeated Lyudmila Kichenok and Chan in the women's doubles. There were clashes throughout the match between the two pairs, and after the game, the Ukrainian refused to shake hands with the French player. Mladenovic further fueled the fire by accusing her opponents of unsportsmanlike conduct during the on-court discussion. The next day, Kichenok claimed her reason for not shaking hands with Mladenovic was due to constant threats received from her after being hit with a ball, despite Mladenovic's repeated apologies.

The US Open makes a radical change to its schedule: "This is terrible.."

Curious and unexpected. That's the only way to define what the organization of the US Open 2025 has announced, with a scheduling change that could have significant consequences for some tennis players. The fourth Grand Slam of the year has decided that the mixed doubles tournament will be held during the week before the main event, simultaneously with the individual qualifying rounds. Additionally, the men's and women's doubles tournaments will start on the Friday of the first week.

The reaction from Kristina Mladenovic, a regular in this discipline, has not been delayed, describing the move as "terrible," as she believes it's only done to generate more revenue and that they present mixed doubles as an exhibition match, also depriving players from the qualifying rounds of competing in this event.
