18-year-old Russian tennis player Diana Schneider spoke about the unexpected attitude of Italian Sarra Errani towards her. Athletes met at the WTA tournament in Montevideo (Uruguay) on 1/16.
“I went out with interest to play against the same Sara Errani: Try your hand at knowing that someone is playing well, has a high rating, has such a career behind them. But when you go out and see this kind of misbehavior with the referees, the audience, yourself. It was quite uncomfortable and unpleasant. The man used tricks that angered emotional players.
I couldn’t get a word from him even as we shook hands. This is not usually the case. You lost, so accept it with dignity. I didn’t expect such behavior from the “Roland Garros” finalist, who quoted Schneider’s words. “Championship”.
The Russian won the 2021 Wimbledon Women’s Doubles Championship together with Belarusian Kristina Dmitruk.
Schneider is ranked 109th in the rankings of tennis players. The leader is still the representative of Poland Iga Swiatek. It has 11085 points. Tunisian Ons Zhaber is in the second place and Jessica Pegula from the USA is in the third place.
It was previously reported that Yevgeny Kafelnikov rated the Russian tennis of the year.
