Days After Slamming Davis Cup’s Incompetence, Stan Wawrinka Questions the Top-Tier Authorities Over Horrendous Tennis Infrastructure

The professional tennis world brings tons of excitement to players from all around the world. Playing conditions, being important aspects of the sport, have always been into consideration for the athletes that compete. The Davis Cup, which has been a major tour for a long time, was brought into the spotlight as famous tennis legend Roger Federer publicly criticized it due to its incompetency.

Along with Roger, Swiss tennis player Stan Wawrinka, who is also a friend, used social media to point out the empty stadium in front of the authorities. It wasn’t long since this controversy as Stan stepped forward once again to target the authorities. His recent tweet that had the International Tennis Federation on target over a compelling issue is now the start of another controversy in the eyes of both players and fans.

The Davis Cup’s absence of audience controversy wasn’t yet out of people’s minds while the Swiss tennis player Stan Wawrinka pointed out another issue that caught the ITF on the line.

Wawrinka’s tweet pointed out the issues that professional tennis players have to face. The quality of the tournament and the well-being of athletes, which is a major responsibility of the authorities, is now questioned. His tweet has started a discussion within the tennis community about the irresponsible behavior of governing bodies in ensuring the safety and well-being of the athletes.

He expressed his frustration over the unacceptable conditions at the M15 Albuquerque tournament, and stated, “Completely unacceptable conditions here at M15 Albuquerque, can evidently see the courts are not playable in any way shape or form. Absolutely no respect or care for player welfare and how much money we spend to compete in these tournaments.” 

As the conversation is now ignited and people look forward to the authorities coming up with an answer, the previous issue over Davis Cup’s incompetency gains a strengthened base again.
