The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has apologized for failing to inform players that their conversations were being broadcast live after Jessica Pegula was caught criticizing Mirra Andreeva during a livestreamed chat with her coach.

Pegula referred to Andreeva as a "diva" in the conversation, which was picked up by microphones that players were not aware were active. The WTA acknowledged the oversight and said it would improve communication about microphone usage in the future.
