Tennis player Schneider asked her mother to leave the stands during a match at the Australian Open
Russian tennis player Diana Schneider said she asked her mother to leave the stands during her first round match at the Australian Open.
On Monday, Schneider advanced to the second round of the Australian Open by beating Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
— It was a difficult match both physically and psychologically. The first match is always one of the most difficult, because there are new courts, new conditions, a new atmosphere, you need to get used to them. I think I played well and am pleased with myself.
Yes, my family is here, but during the match I kicked my mother out of the stands. I feel that the match is very difficult for her. I feel her tension, which makes me even more nervous,” Schneider said in an interview on the court.
In the next round, Schneider will play against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic.
