This left-handed American WTA star recently sat in an interview with the Tennis Channel’s famous Prakash Amritraj. On being asked about her preparations, Taylor Townsend showed confidence and a positive spirit as she vowed to fight for her victory – “I know that I have everything I need to be a top player in the world. I believe that wholeheartedly. I’m playing with that belief. I know internally that I have what I need to win, I’m not gonna be my worst enemy anymore. I’m not gonna beat myself, so my opponents are gonna have to figure out how to beat me. I’m not beating me anymore. That’s not always 100 percent, but that’s my intention.”

This American WTA star seemed pretty confident about her future performance as she believed that her recent matches improved her skills. Shed further said- “I just feel incredibly prepared. I’ve been working really hard, Sometimes the work shows and manifests itself in matches, maybe for a set or a couple of games. I feel like now that I’ve been playing some weeks in a row, matches in a row, things have started to fall in place. The things I have been working on and training for months are finally coming to fruition on the court.”

While Townsend has become the talk of the town with her incredible performance, her opponent at the Miami Open called her out for an act that might not be termed as cheating but it is equally problematic for the sport.

This American WTA star was allegedly called out by her opponent Lucia Bronzetti at the final set of their match. During this match, Bronzetti was running to the baseline when Townsend hit the ball assuming that the ball would go wide. However, the ball hit Bronzetti’s racquet, which the umpire missed and offered points to Townsend. According to Bronzatti, she deserved the points as Townsend started the play and allowed Bronzatti to earn it.

However, the line umpire missed it and Townsend didn’t correct the umpire since it helped her with the points. This act made Bronzatti super pissed. She took her Instagram and wrote– “Don’t know which is worse… the chair umpire or the player who denied it.”

Taylor Townsend’s revelation assured fans that this American WTA star is confident to bag her victory at the Miami Open. She is ready to come out of her comfort zone and snatch her victory by pulling off a great game against the opponent.
