The tennis community is currently discussing various dynamics of the ATP and WTA Finals that lie ahead. Players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have been holding a major share of conversations, as they continue to be on top of the line. However, this isn’t the only topic that Americans are interested in right now. Former pros have been extending their thoughts about one of the most highlighted topics in the world of politics. With Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as the two presidential candidates, here’s what WTA legend Pam Shriver has to say.

Tennis icon Pam Shriver has entered the political conversation ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The former WTA pro reflected on how the political landscape has shifted since her first opportunity to vote in 1980. “I recall in 1980 at 18 years of age I had a choice to vote for Carter or Reagan—two decent, stable candidates for President. Now in 2024 my 3 kids can vote for president for the 1st time, and they only have one decent and stable choice,” Shriver posted, tagging Democratic vice-president Kamala Harris.

The presidential race between Harris and former president Donald Trump has become a nail-biter as both candidates are locked in a statistical tie. Polls show the outcome will depend heavily on swing states, undecided voters, and voter turnout, especially in crucial battleground regions.

Issues like the U.S. economy, women’s healthcare, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East are at the forefront of voters’ minds. As election day approaches, there’s a strong possibility the results will not be clear immediately due to anticipated delays in vote counting. No matter the presidential outcome, political analysts expect a divided Congress, which could create bigger challenges for Harris if Republicans win the Senate.
