    Three time grand slam winner Iga Swiatek and Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova have slammed playing conditions at the WTA tennis finals in Cancun


    Almost half of the eight singles players have complained about the court not allowing for solid footing, the balls bouncing oddly and the surface not being ready early enough for sufficient practice.

    World number one Aryna Sabalenka has described it as disrespectful.

    The WTA claims the court meets their strict performance standards.
