 | The perverse moment, after which Zverev and Federer snarled23-12-2018 |
The viewers at the O2 Arena in London have allowed themselves something rare in tennis - to hurt players during a duel, and one of them being involved with the popular pet Roger Federer. The Great Swiss lost 5:7, 6:7 (5) from Alexander Zverev to the semi-finals in the ATP final tournament.
The reason for the unpleasant scenes was the unintentional mistake of one of the children pushing the balls into a key match between the Tibetan at 4:3 points for Federer. Zverev stopped playing because a boy missed the ball he held in his hands on the court, causing distraction. As usual, the play was replayed, but Federer also took a few seconds to comment on the situation with the judge in the chair, and even asked the boy in question if he really missed the ball. He confirmed and the Maestro agreed with the decision to make a replay, and on top of all Zverev realized ace for 4:4.
How can you ask me whether she has influenced my situation, of course it affected me. This was an extremely important moment, and the development could be quite different. I understand the disappointment of the fans, but I never liked the booze. We see them constantly in other sports, but in tennis they are rare and we, the players, take them very personally. It`s just bad luck, and Sasha does not deserve it.
He apologized to me after the game, and I told him to shut up because he did not have to apologize, he did nothing wrong, but on the contrary. There`s no need to apologize for doing something right, and according to the rules of tennis, if that happens, you`re overplaying the point.
The rules are the rules, I had to put up with the situation and continue the game. I hope he will not boot him during the final because he does not deserve it, it is not his fault, `Federer said.
I was very upset in the dressing room, and even on the court after the game I was saddened by the booze. Maybe people did not understand what exactly happened. I hope they will not whack me at the end, they will understand that I did not do anything wrong, Zverev explained.
