Iga Swiatek was eliminated by Veronika Kudermetova in the quarterfinals of the WTA tournament in Tokyo. On that occasion, her psychologist ended up in the crossfire of the fans, who reproached her for a gesture considered regrettable by them.
During the match, Daria Abramowicz was using her smartphone. Abramowicz, a tennis psychologist who usually accompanies Swiatek to tournaments, had to face negative comments from fans of the world no.2. They accused her of not caring about the Iga match.
Here are the most significant comments shared by fans on X:
Like they look miserable being there…. shameful — Kamis 🎾⛸️🤸🏽♀️ (@kamilarmc) September 29, 2023
Well I hope she see this.
You have to support the players you work with, you need to DO SOMETHING, there’s no way you are so damn useless and only stay with Iga for what? https://t.co/m5qx3Okab1 — MJ~ SabaTek Supremacy (@mjtek2903) September 29, 2023
i’m sorry but this is pissing me off.
idk if iga requests this but when your player is down why are you on your phone and looking away when you could be trying to cheer her up. not even making an effort to act like you care https://t.co/oKfXXExYm8 — ۟…
