Coco Gauff has labelled the WTA Finals format "kinda stupid" following her match against Marta Kostyuk, while dropping hints that a shake-up of the tournament's structure could be on the horizon.
The American star clarified that her frustration was directed at the mental burden placed on players during the round robin phase, where complex scenarios and permutations can distract from simply competing.
Gauff indicated she had received information suggesting significant alterations to the WTA Finals format may be in the pipeline, though she stopped short of revealing specifics.
That has sparked concern among fans and observers who value the round robin element of the event. Unlike the knockout draws used across most of the tour, the group stage offers a distinct dynamic - and its potential removal would strip the Finals of one of its most distinctive features, as Tennis365 reports.
