The social media post by Stubbs wasn't the only recent connection between the skier and the world of professional tennis.

It's been a while since Rennae Stubbs stepped away from the tennis courts, but the retired player has remained relevant in the landscape of the sport. In one of her latest posts on X (formerly Twitter), Stubbs talked about the current administration in the United States government. The Australian used her social media accounts to express her opinions regarding Donald Trump and his recent comments regarding the use of "transgender mice".

It turns out that the United States government wasn't using transgender mice. Donald Trump's comments were actually referring to research connected to transgenic mice. Stubbs was quick to point out the inconsistency in the politician's comments, joining Martina Navratilova in her stance against the president.

Rennae Stubbs was also vocal about a recent incident that involved Luka Doncic and Al Horford during a Lakers vs. Celtics basketball game. The retired tennis player was confident while saying that Horford "deliberately hurt" Doncic during the encounter between the two teams.

Stubbs is also known for the period after her retirement, during which she worked as Serena Williams' coach. Her guidance helped the 23-time Grand Slam winner obtain some of the achievements that led her to be considered one of the best tennis players of all time.
