The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has intervened after American player Jessica Pegula referred to French Open champion Mirra Andreeva as a "diva" during a live stream.

The comment, made by Pegula during an online broadcast, prompted the sport's governing body to address the matter. The WTA has not yet disclosed specific disciplinary measures.

Andreeva, who won the French Open earlier this year, has not publicly responded to the remark. Pegula, a top-10 player, has also not issued a statement regarding the incident.
