Jessica Pegula calls Mirra Andreeva 'diva' after Indian Wells practice session
- On Thursday, Jessica Pegula was caught on a hot mic during training at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells, calling 19-year-old rival Mirra Andreeva a "diva" who "needs to be humbled."

- Pegula also expressed she had "lost respect" for Conchita Mart, Andreeva's coach, claiming the teenager acted inappropriately on court by throwing balls while leading during recent matches.

- Pegula remains focused on winning a Grand Slam while the pair has yet to face each other competitively, though they could meet during this tournament as tensions simmer.
