The WTA has accepted responsibility after a derogatory comment describing Jessica Pegula as a "diva" was inadvertently broadcast during a live stream. The incident occurred during coverage of a match involving Pegula and Mirra Andreeva, who have previously faced each other only in doubles and mixed doubles competitions.
BBC Sport journalist Ben Collins reported on November 5, 2026, that the WTA acknowledged the mistake and issued an apology. The organization stated it would review its broadcast protocols to prevent similar occurrences.
