The Ukrainian was mocking the tennis player from Russia right during the match. And brought Anya to tears
Kostyuk was not enough devastating victory.
In the match of the 1/16 finals of the WTA 1000 series tournament in Miami, the Russian tennis player Anna Blinkova did not work out. Martha Kostyuk dealt with the rival in less than an hour. And well, the matter would be limited to defeat, but the Ukrainian at the end simply decided to mock the Russian woman.
The ugly act Kostyuk brought Anna to tears.
Encouraging beginning
At the Tennis tournament of the WTA 1000 series in Miami on March 23, Russian woman Anna Blinkova and Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk met in the third round match on the third circle. Our tennis player in the first two rounds knocked out Camilla Rakhimova and Diana Schneider out of the struggle of compatriots. Her rival stopped Australia representative Kimberly Birrell.
In a solitary discharge, the girls met each other for the first time, so it was impossible to talk about someone else’s advantage in personal meetings. However, it was not difficult to determine the favorite here if you at least look at the WTA rating. Kostyuk before the match occupied the 29th line, Blinkov-only the 85th. Of course, this did not mean that Anna had no chance, but the Russian woman could not surprise.
But the beginning was encouraging. Blinkova immediately made a break, and then took her pitch to zero. But after that she managed to give in to six gamies in a row and allowed the Ukrainian to achieve victory in the set with a score of 6: 2. Our tennis player failed to return to the game in the second set. Only with a score of 0: 5 she was able to hook at least one game. It was clear that it was too late to save the match, and yet, in the end, Anna had a chance to pat the nerves of his rival.
“She will be punished”
In the second set, with a 5: 1 score, Kostyuk suddenly arose difficulties on the feed. Blinkova, who spent a frankly weak match, was close to delaying the defeat. But Kostyuk nevertheless corrected the situation, and when there was only one draw remained before the victory, she mockingly filed with her hand, to which Anna did not have time to react.
So far, a Ukrainian, who habitually ignored her rival from Russia after the match, threw towels, pancakes, wiping her tears, hastily ignored, she hurriedly left the court. Already the very fact of defeat could upset Anna, and then there is such a mocking final. Not only our tennis player, but also many fans, the costume of Kostyuk seemed inappropriate.
– Ponto cutting.
– Kostyuk showed her essence.
– Well, so -so act. I could have defeated beautifully, and so the sediment remained.
– disrespect for the rival.
“I will see how she will serve from the hand in a match with Sobolenko or when she flies away from the bagel from Mirra.”
– Such a nature has such a costume.
-Let’s do Kostyuk like that with a score of 6: 6 on a tie-break.
– Objectively Kostyuk is stronger than Ani, but I think she will be punished for it very soon.
– From Ukraine, but this is ugly.
