“Did you even read what you said?” – Fans outraged as Garbine Muguruza praises Aryna Sabalenka’s personality for ‘perfect’ World No. 1

Former World No. 1 Garbine Muguruza was full of praise for Aryna Sabalenka as she commended her effervescent personality to be a ‘perfect’ fit as the current World No. 1. The tennis star, having retired from the sport last year, has currently undertaken the role of WTA Finals tournament director.

Appearing on an episode of The Sit-Down podcast on June 3, she lauded the Belarusian on her achievements and said:

“She’s just a perfect personality for world No.1. She’s fun, she’s not shy, she has a lot of fans, she keeps her social media active, she has amazing strength and talent. So I really like her as No.1”

This remark enraged some fans as they condemned Muguruza for mentioning this and added how one’s personality does not supersede talent and is irrelevant when it comes to being a good player. Some even brought up moments from Sabalenka’s career where she had been ‘disrespectful’ or hadn’t been on her best behavior on the court.

Here are some of the fan reactions (via X):

"Wt….did you even read what you said? This is pathetic. you see the sport this way and complain about people not respecting female players," wrote one.

"AND she pretend pisses on a runner’s up trophy and ocassionally cusses at judges when losing! Amazing personality! posted another angry fan.

"So now social media are more important than achievements?? God, what is this world coming to?" questioned one.

"there is no perfect personality to be number 1, you are or you aren’t, simple as that," stated another.

"wow, so if you are shy you have nothing to look for in tennis? another posted.

"Was she perfect when she disgraced herself and disrespected the AO runner's-up trophy?" wrote one.

Having faced each other 12 times, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses, as they gear up to square off at the Semifinals of the ongoing French Open.

Both have displayed strong performances on the surface this season, with Sabalenka getting the upper hand on that front after winning the WTA 1000 title in Madrid. Swiatek, on the other hand, leads their head-to-head 8-4, but has had a trophyless season so far. However, their competitive spirit sets the duo up for an epic showdown on Thursday (June 5).
