The WTA has apologized for failing to inform players that their conversations were being broadcast live after Jessica Pegula was heard criticizing Mirra Andreeva during a livestreamed exchange with her coach.
Pegula referred to Andreeva as a “diva” in the conversation, which was captured by microphones that the players were not aware were active. The incident occurred on November 5, 2026.
The governing body acknowledged the oversight and said it would review its procedures to ensure players are properly notified about live audio in the future.
