Nadal and the fan who marked a triple finger (Reuters)
The star of the Games Day held yesterday (Thursday) at the Australian Open did not come from the hard surface in Melbourne, but from the stands. This is of course the fan who got into a bizarre confrontation with Rafael Nadal during the Spanish bull’s game against Michael Moch, and was removed from the stadium after interrupting him during a serve and also pointing a triple finger at him.
Nadal himself responded to the events after defeating the American and said: “I think the fan who drank too much gin or tequila, was drunk. It was a funny situation because I did not understand why she did it, but there are people like that in the world. The distance has come to her. ” This morning, it was the turn of that fan to provide her version during an interview on one of the morning shows in Australia, in which she appeared under a pseudonym (Lisa).
“I can say out loud that I’m not a fan of Nadal, I think he’s very boring with all his ‘ceremonies’ before the submissions,” Linda explained why she decided to interrupt the Spaniard during the game. “The fact that my image went viral all over the world and focused on it, proves how boring the game was, why should the focus be on the audience?” Regarding Nadal’s hypothesis that she was drunk, she responded: “Alcohol can make you lose some control. My daughter was not happy with the way I behaved.”
The fan added: “I do not understand why I could not say out loud what everyone saw. It was impudent to evict me from the field. I was told I had to go out and I replied ‘why? I expect she paid a ticket, why am I not allowed to speak? ‘. In the game before me, I shouted at Alina Svitolina because she is one of my favorite tennis players. “
