Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek ‘testosterone’ claim from rival causes uproar

Published

on

Marta Kostyuk suggested that Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek benefitted from being ‘bigger’ than her.

Marta Kostyuk has sparked huge backlash after suggesting that Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek had a “higher level of testosterone”, which helped them on the tennis court. The WTA No. 27 claimed that she had to work harder to win points against the world’s two best players because they were bigger, taller and stronger than her.

Her comments caused an uproar, with fans accusing Kostyuk of looking for excuses and pointing out that ‘smaller’ players had been able to beat Sabalenka and Swiatek in the past.

Kostyuk has a 0-4 record against Sabalenka and a 0-3 record against Swiatek. Speaking to Tennis365, she argued that the gap between herself and the multi-Grand Slam champions was physical.

“Against Iga, when I have played her, I wasn’t ready to play her at all. I played her over a year ago and she was very strong. With Aryna, I know it is a tough battle. I have my own skills, but at the end of the day, they are all much bigger than me, much taller than me, much stronger than me,” the Ukrainian ace said.

“We all have our own biological structure. Some have a higher level of testosterone, some have lower. It’s just natural and that definitely helps. I feel smaller than them. I try to see how I can beat these players with the tennis skills I have, but I have to work harder to win the points. I have to run a lot more than them to win points.”

The 23-year-old conceded that world No. 1 Sabalenka clearly had more confidence and fewer doubts on the court, but she still thought there was a clear physical difference whenever they faced off.

Kostyuk added: “I cannot make myself 10 kilograms bigger or five centimetres taller, so I have to use everything I had at 100 per cent. For other players, they have more of an advantage in other things. This is just the way I am.

“I look at the photos when we shake hands at the net and I look so much smaller than some of my opponents. It’s just part of the sport and a very cool challenge for me to take on these players. There are many, many things I can do to be better, but they have an advantage on me.”

The Ukrainian’s claims have not gone down well with tennis fans, who disagree with her assessment. “why can’t she just say they’re better than her. who does she actually think she is, lol,” @noctvail tweeted.

@jumpingbhs argued: “i hate how when a woman in sports is built bigger or taller she’s immediately frowned upon/considered “suspicious” and such weird statement coming from that lady just unnecessarily fuels the whole narrative even more which is quite harmful towards her fellow female competitors.

Emma Raducanu’s ex-coach joins another player’s team months after quitting role

Published

on

Emma Raducanu linked up with Yutaka Nakamura at the end of last year, but their partnership soon fizzled out.

Emma Raducanu’s former fitness trainer, Yutaka Nakamura, has officially started working with another player, this time on the men’s circuit. Raducanu announced that Nakamura had joined her team last December, and he was set to travel with her during “most weeks” of the season.

However, Nakamura has been absent from her box for most of the year, reportedly stepping back for personal reasons in the spring. Raducanu has since been working with other physios, including Daniel Pohl and Jerome Poupel. And Nakamura has now seemingly joined Grigor Dimitrov’s team, months after the Bulgarian’s heartbreaking injury retirement at Wimbledon.

Dimitrov led top seed and eventual champion Jannik Sinner by two sets to love in the fourth round of Wimbledon this summer when he suddenly went down in tears, picking up a pectoral injury.

The former world No. 3 received off-court treatment, but he was unable to continue and returned to the court to retire from the match. Dimitrov has since revealed that he spent two hours crying in the locker room, and he later shared a photo from the hospital.

During his injury layoff, Dimitrov’s team had a shake-up, and he parted ways with his coach, Jamie Delgado, who has since joined Jack Draper’s camp. The 34-year-old has now returned to competition at the Paris Masters with some new faces in his box.

One of them is Nakamura, who has a wealth of experience on the WTA Tour, also working with Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka, as well as Raducanu.
