Monroe criticized Parker’s behavior in their last encounter, calling it “out of control.” Stone clarified that Parker was suspended for striking the referee in the previous match and confirmed she is dealing with a neck injury. Stone then inserted Monroe into the #1 contenders tournament, where she will face Thea Hail in the opening round.
