Sofia Kenin, for instance, was the protagonist of a dramatic response in direction of the chair umpire and the group on the Foro Italico.

ccording to the winner of the 2020 Australian Open, the sunshine rain that was falling on the time made the bottom slippery, however the umpire did not assume the identical means. At this refusal, Kenin exploded, throwing the towel on the bottom and directing some disrespectful remarks in direction of the umpire. This response was under no circumstances appreciated by the group within the stands, who booed the American loudly. Sofia, offended by this therapy meted out by the followers, devoted one other very insulting insult to them in Italian, which you’ll see (and listen to!) within the video beneath:

In brief. Very tense nerves yesterday on the Italian Internationals. As a result of rain the day was postponed a number of instances and this compromised this system on day 1 on the Foro Italico. If some matches, such because the one between Fabio Fognini and Daniel Evans, have been postponed to in the present day, the one between Bronzetti and Kenin has been concluded (as talked about).
Â
The Italian participant had a superb begin and she or he took a 3-1 lead initially however was caught as much as 3-3. Right here the match had its first interruption attributable to rain. On the restart, Kenin acquired off to a greater begin and she or he received the set 6-3. Within the second set Kenin once more managed to get forward within the match, which she then managed to shut 6-2 simply because the rain was beginning to fall very closely on the Foro Italico.
