While tennis is growing in many departments, there are still some areas where more development is required. Rennae Stubbs has talked about her stance on the sport many times and feels that sexism still prevails. She reasoned that her coaching assessment was given flying remarks, but she still hasn’t received a single call from any player. While aiming to tackle these issues, she still celebrated the win.

These achievements were lauded by Chelsea Handler during her segment on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’.

Noticing her assessment, Rennae Stubbs was unable to contain her excitement as she wrote, “Yes ladies! Stand up! @CocoGauff @HuskerVB @Barbie @Beyonce @taylorswift13“.

The former coach of Serena Williams is another voice of women empowerment in the sport. She aims to get more players to receive guidance from women coaches but is frustrated by her own situation. She had a short stint with the Queen of the Court, after which many said her phone would be ringing constantly for players to take her on as their guide.
