Ranking is everything, especially when main-draw berths are at stake in big-money tournaments. But what happens when you obsess over your position too much?
WTA pro Irina Falconi and TENNIS.com editor Nina Pantic answer those questions, chat about moms on tour, as well as what Venus Williams recently talked to Irina about in the locker room.
Serena Williams tweeted about being drug tested five times already in 2018. What's it like to actually be drug tested on the WTA tour? Is it really discrimination, as Serena posits, or something else?
...and it’s that time of the day to get “randomly” drug tested and only test Serena. Out of all the players it’s been proven I’m the one getting tested the most. Discrimination? I think so. At least I’ll be keeping the sport clean #StayPositive— Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) July 25, 2018
Peeing in a cup in front of a doping official doesn't sound like a fun thing to do. It's not.
— Serena has brought on change for the seeding process after her maternity leave, and she's been part of a trend of moms killing it on tour. Mandy Minella, Andreea Mitu and Gail Brodsky are just some of the moms enjoying success. Irina reveals that the tour acts like a big family for their children.
