The WTA has issued an apology after a hot microphone captured Jessica Pegula referring to fellow player Mirra Andreeva as a "diva" during a practice session. The incident occurred at the Wuhan Open in October, according to a report by Yahoo Sports contributor Chris Cwik published on November 5, 2026.
Pegula, a top-ranked American player, was caught on audio making the remark about the Russian teenager Andreeva. The WTA's apology acknowledges the breach of professionalism and the potential impact on both players. Neither player has publicly commented on the incident as of the report's publication.
