Rennae Stubbs Calls Not Recognizing Wimbledon Points “Ridiculous” and “Embarrassing”

Rybakina who entered the tournament ranked No.23 continues to be in the same ranking when she should have gone up and broken into the Top 5. Runner-up Ons Jabeur also slipped down instead of going up.

In a tweet, Stubbs said, Looking at the current rankings without the Wimbledon pts. What an embarrassment. The fact that Rybakina would have been somewhere around #5 in the world & is still 23 & Jabeur went from 2 to 5 is just ridiculous. I hope the WTA figures out a way to reward these players.”

She also said that it was hurting innocent players like Ajla Tomljanovic. Stubbs said, “Also players like @Ajlatom dropping something like 38 spots and she reached the quarters like last year. Could we not have found a better system then to hurt every player!?”

Her tweets were in response to how the WTA and the ATP handled the All-England Clubs ban of Russian and Belarusian tennis players from playing in solidarity with Ukraine.

In men’s tennis, the current champion Novak Djokovic dropped to No.7 after his 2000 points from last year were removed from the rankings.

Stubbs also had something to say about that, tweeting - “Lets not forget the ATP too. I think the ban was not ok, we could talk about that for days and I have my thoughts but punishing EVERY SINGLE player who busted their asses for hours to go backward in the rankings! Players are playing challenges this week who did great last week.”
