Martina Hingis and Andrea Hlavackova are not best friends right now.
What happened?
Martina saved a match point in the women’s semi-final (doubles) after shooting a ball on Hlavackova’s face. That shot was a real KO as Andrea’s orbital bone. Eventually, the Swiss team (Hingis/Bacsinszky) won the semi-final 5-7 7-6 (3) 6-2, but some hard feelings remained.
She could have avoided that. HLAVACKOVA
Andrea was rather unhappy about what has happened to comment “It happens. She’s one of the greatest who knows where to put the ball. When I saw the video, and I saw the space which was around me, I have to admit that she could have put it away.
She was more worried about not getting a medical timeout for me than about my eye.”
Was it fair for Hingis to hit that shot? |
