Emma Raducanu was the protagonist of an unusual moment during her departure against world ranking Aryna Sabalenka at the Cincinnati WTA tournament in the United States. The British tennis player, currently in the 22nd position of the ranking, was defeated in three sets (7-6, 4-6, 7-6), but the episode that caught the most attention occurred during the third set.
While preparing to serve, Raducanu was interrupted by a baby’s persistent cry from the benches. Visibly uncomfortable, he went to the judge of the meeting to complain: “It has been lasting ten minutes.”
The comment generated diverse reactions among supporters, with some understand the frustration of the player and others to consider the situation as part of the unpredictable environment of sneakers.
RADUCANU IS COMPLAINING BECAUSE A BABY HAS BEEN CRYING FOR THE PAST “10mins” AND SABALENKA IS LOOSING THE EASIEST POINTS.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
