The 53-year-old veteran tennis player compared Jessica and Emma to Serena Williams and venus Williams. She tweeted “One thing I want to address that I didn't on my pod today. You can't buy your way to the top 10 or major final without an extraordinary amount of hard work on the tennis court, in the gym, and having mental fortitude and guts!.”

She said, “Jessica and Emma are working very hard just like Serena and Venus Williams."The Williams sisters were trained by their father at a very young age. Both of them share 30 world grand slams and 2 Olympic gold medals. Rennae Stubbs credited Jessica and Emma for earning this level with all their hard work on the court and asked the critics to stop building narratives for being rich.
