Jessica Pegula has criticised Madrid Open organisers after she and her fellow doubles finalists were not allowed to make presentation speeches.
Victoria Azarenka and Beatriz Haddad Maia beat Americans Pegula and Coco Gauff 6-1 6-4 on Sunday.
All finalists in the singles and the men's doubles addressed the crowd after their matches.
"I don't know what century everyone was living in when they made that decision," said 29-year-old Pegula.
"Or how they had a conversation and decided, 'Wow, this is a great decision and there's going to be no-backlash against this'.
"I've never heard in my life we wouldn't be able to speak.
