Tommy Robredo made headlines last week for (jokingly) giving the middle fingers to Andy Murray after losing the final in Valencia. The gesture was clearly a joke and it came after Andy saved 5 championship points. Tommy was disappointed also because the same happened in the Shenzhen final between the same players (also in that case Andy saved 5 match points before winning the title).
Even if that was a clear joke, some didn’t like the obscenity. Tommy commented “Andy off the court is a ten, very proper, it is difficult to be angry with him…we both enjoyed the game and that is good for the people and the youth,”
The Spaniard was still happy for his performance “Andy told me that it has been an incredible battle and a great match. When you’re about to beat a player like Murray, who is playing the Masters, is amazing, put it on a DVD and see it again with popcorn, and a Coke.”
Some expect Tommy to be penalized by his gesture.
