Women's Tennis Association chair Valerie Camillo has apologised to Jessica Pegula and said the live-streaming of private comments to her coach about fellow player Mirra Andreeva was "regrettable and unacceptable".

American Pegula called Andreeva a "diva" in a private conversation with her coach after a practice session for the WTA Tour Finals on Wednesday.

However, the comments were aired on a live stream after the WTA failed to tell players there were microphones on practice courts.
