What the coverage says

The WTA has issued an apology following an incident where a live stream captured world number five Jessica Pegula referring to Mirra Andreeva as a "diva." The Guardian reports that the organization acknowledged players were not informed about the active microphones during their practice sessions with the Russian teenager, and adds that Pegula also remarked that Andreeva "needs to be humbled." While BBC focused solely on the initial remarks made after the practice session, The Guardian further notes that despite the apology, practice livestreams will continue, though they will proceed without audio.
