When the interviewer informed her that Stefanos made a serious consideration, Naomi gave it a thought and replied,? ?I don’t know. I feel like that would change the structure of tennis. Like people will start doing things differently in the gym and stuff like that.? The Japanese star, however, remained confident that Tsitsipas’ proposal won’t go through.

Going back to Tsitsipas’ comment, the Greek star revealed that if women are getting equal prize money, then they should be playing best-of-five sets, at-least in slams.
