Up-and-coming Australian tennis player Destanee Aiava has slammed the “pretty poor” feeling and culture in the United Cup camp with her fellow teammates.

The 24-year-old took to YouTube, sharing a video titled “my honest experience and review of the week I had”, where she revealed the time spent with team Australia wasn’t all she had hoped it would be.

Aiava was part of team Australia and declared she felt excluded while competing and spending time around teammates, who she did not directly name.

“So far I’ve had a good time at the event itself,” she began in the 28-minute video.

“Regarding our team, yeah, it’s not felt so welcoming.”

The world No.194 also used her fingers to air quote when using the word “team”, explaining that it felt that her teammates, who should be working together, seemed to be focusing on themselves only.

“I understand that we’re in a competitive environment, but I thought being in a team, playing a team event, it would feel a bit different,” Aiava said.

“It’s not team-based at all, we pretty much just do whatever we want, by ourselves.

“And then, when everyone has to play, that’s when we all come together as a ‘team’.”

She did not get to compete in any of the live matches, declaring she felt left out, which in turn drove a bigger wedge between herself and other teammates.

“There’s been like, at most, two people that I’ve actually properly conversed with on the team, maybe three,” Aiava said.

The youngster also gave the United Cup experience a “two out of 10” and ranked it as “pretty poor”.

She then shared a warning to anyone else considering the United Cup, admitting the experience threw off her preparation for the Australian Open qualifiers.

“This week wasn’t the best prep for AO,” Aiava said.

“In fact, it could have been the worst prep I’ve ever had, like match-wise.

“So it’s fair to say that I won’t be ever entering United Cup ever again, unless I’m the No.1 player, because then I’ll be guaranteed a match,” she said.

“But I guess that’s my fault.”

Aiava also confirmed she would not recommend the event unless you are a big name in the tennis world.

“Would I recommend other people to play it? If you’re the No. 1 person on your team, go for it. If not, run for your life.”

Australia lost three of their first five matches, eventually losing the chance of a quarter-finals appearance.

Alex de Minaur, Matthew Ebden, Olivia Gadecki and Ellen Perez were just some of the Australians who took part in the United Cup for Australia.
