Maria Sharapova and Coco Vandeweghe will not be best friends after last quarter final in Wimbledon. The Russian won in 3 sets, but the American publicly stated not to be impressed by Sharapova’s behaviour.
What happened?
According to the American Maria was moving around during the motion of her second serve with the intent of distracting her “She was moving around in the middle of my motion on my second serve.
[The umpire] said she didn’t believe she was doing it during the motion. I strongly disagreed. Toward the later end of the second set, I said if she has a problem speaking to Maria, if she’s too scared to do it, I had no problem speaking to her.”
It’s not sportsmanlike behavior
Then Coco added “What I experienced, what I felt from her moving around in between my serving motion was not, I don’t think, sportsmanlike, in my opinion,
I try to play as fair as I can. You know, when I felt like it wasn’t being reciprocated, that’s when I spoke with the umpire for her to deal with.”
She couldn’t have been less explicit… a bit too much?
