Justin Gatlin has heaped praise on his long-time arch-nemesis Usain Bolt, thanking him for making him the athlete he ended up becoming after returning to the sport.
By winning this season-ending event, she not only pocketed an impressive $4.8 million prize but also silenced critics who doubted her capacity to excel at the highest levels.
“Muah! Also, I know I tend to focus on ‘doubters/haters,’ but this one is really for all of my supporters!” Gauff shared on social media.
"Ya’ll held it down for me win or lose! I thank you for that. I see you and I appreciate you. And I know some of you are a little bit petty like me, so it does feel nice to silence them for a bit.”
Meanwhile, Zheng Qinwen also leaves the WTA Finals with much to celebrate.
Despite falling to Gauff in a tough final match, the 2024 season has been a breakthrough year for the Chinese tennis star.
She began the season with a Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, reached new heights by winning China’s first Olympic singles tennis gold in Paris and secured her WTA Finals debut with back-to-back wins at the Palermo Ladies Open and Pan Pacific Open.
