Although tennis is known for its discipline, there have been several incidents during the sport’s history that have marred its legacy. Take for example this year. At the last month’s Wimbledon Championships, a group of protestors stormed the court and interrupted Grigor Dimitrov’s match. It caused further delays as some matches were already affected by rain. Recently, another such incident about fan behavior was brought to light by Serena Williams’ former coach, Rennae Stubbs.

The 52-year-old served as the American legend’s coach at the 2022 US Open. Serena, playing in the final tournament of her career, managed to reach the third round of that tournament. Earlier today, Stubbs revealed Andre Agassi’s wife, Steffi Graf’s relation to her shocking incident.

Serena Williams’ former coach was called Steffi Graf

American tennis sensation, Coco Gauff, initiated a discussion on Twitter where she talked about being called by fans with other players’ names. Gauff, who is in Canada to participate in the National Bank Open, wrote, “I sign autographs as myself but occasionally I am somehow also signing as Sloane, Venus, Serena, Taylor, Alycia, and yesterday I got Leylah for the first time lollll.”

Replying to her Tweet, Stubbs shared her incident about facing a similar experience during her playing days. She told, “A bunch of drunks called me Steffi Graf once and to be honest, I ran with it!” On the other hand, Stubs also said that she’s often called Alicia Molik in her native country.

As soon as Gauff shared her bizarre encounter, another fellow American, Christopher Eubanks revealed that he was called Monfils twice during ATP 500 Citi DC Open.

Meanwhile, Stubs has been active on social media and regularly shares views about major happenings in tennis. Recently, she came to the aid of Casper Ruud.

A video went viral on social media showing Ruud pitching at a Toronto Blue Jays game. However, the Norwegian got trolled for his pitch, with a comment saying that elite athletes cannot throw a ball.

Stubbs hit back at the comment, saying, “Casper don’t worry mate, I’ll take Craig out tomorrow and video his take back and we can compare!” Ruud is aiming to go one step higher at the US Open this year after losing in the final in 2022. Can he dig deep in the tournament? Let us know your views in the comments below.
