Defeated by Kiki Bertens (7-6, 3-6, 9-7) this Wednesday, in the second round of Roland Garros, Sara Errani settled accounts with the Dutch after the match. She feels that her opponent was not in as much pain as she wanted to believe.
“I don’t like to be laughed at.” In a press conference, Sara Errani explained her behavior displayed during her lost match against Kiki Bertens (7-6, 3-6, 9-7) this Wednesday, in the second round of Roland Garros.
In the middle of a match, the Italian did not hesitate to imitate her opponent, visibly in great physical pain. She did not wish to greet her after her loss, sent a ball into the stands and let out a “Va fan culo” (“go make you crazy ***”) as she came off the court.
“One blow she was hurt, one blow she was running”
“What would I have said at the end? Va fan culo? That’s something I often say. If I can be penalized? I don’t know”, reacted Errani, former world number 1 and finalist Porte d’Auteuil in 2012, who completely lost his means during this match by multiplying the failures on his service. Bertens, she took refuge in her chair after three hours of effort, before being taken care of by caregivers. Evacuated on a wheelchair, she let out a cry of pain, exhausted.
“One blow she was injured, one blow she was running like never before. She left the court on a wheelchair. But it’s better, I reassure you, I saw her in the locker room and in the restaurant”, commented Errani, not frankly affected by the pains of the Dutch, who, if she is in good condition, will face the Czech Katerina Siniakova for a place in the round of 16.
