Stan Wawrinka has hit out at the International Tennis Federation after a viral video on social media highlighted the low bounce on a hard-court surface. The courts at the Futures Tournament in Albuquerque were slammed by players for being \u2018unplayable\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

British rising star Finn Bass scathed about the ITA on social media platform X, alleging that there is little \u2018care\u2019 for player welfare due to the state of the courts at the tournament. Bass told the governing body to do better to protect the players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDo better\u2026 @ITFTennis @usta. Completely unacceptable conditions here at M15 Albuquerque, can evidently see the courts are not playable in any way shape or form,\u201d the youngster wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely no respect or care for player welfare and how much money we spend to compete in these tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post was picked up by former World No 3 Wawrinka, who amplified Bass\u2019s frustration with the ITF. He asked if the federation had any comment to make about a young player\u2019s fury over the conditions of the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wawrinka shared Bass\u2019s post with the caption: \u201c@ITFTennis any comment??\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes just days after Wawrinka shared his frustration over the new Davis Cup format, publicly criticising former football Gerard Pique whose company Kosmos run the tournament. The Davis Cup now features a group stage with matches played across different cities. Wawrinka\u2019s Switzerland played France in Manchester.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you @3gerardpique @ITFTennis! Davis Cup France vs Switzerland in Manchester lol,\u201d he sarcastically tweeted to the former Barcelona defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite some fiery social media posts, Wawrinka has not quite been in the same form on the court. He was knocked out of the Astana Open by American Marcos Giron and was disappointed to lose against Jannik Sinner in the fourth round of the US Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wawrinka has set himself high standards and at the age of 38, believes he can still beat the world\u2019s best players. Speaking at the US Open last month, he said: \u201cPhysically I think I’m okay. I’m old, of course, but I feel good. I was feeling good on the court against younger players.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also know the day I stop I will never find those emotions anywhere. I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I think it’s an amazing life, and we are lucky to be tennis players and to travel the world, to play in the biggest tournaments. If you [are] still passionate about something, you shouldn’t stop or change.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never forgot why I started playing tennis and what I was dreaming of when I was young was to play the US Open, to play those Grand Slams, big tournaments, ATP tournaments, to be there. I’m happy I can still play at that level.\u201d<\/p>\n
