Emma Raducanu’s opponent breaks the cameraman because he is “wild inappropriate” during the game | Tennis | sport

Danielle Collins smoked on a cameraman that she believed that he was “wild” in Strasbourg during her game against Emma Raducanu. The incident occurred during a break, with Collins defeating her British rivals in three sets. The Raducanu tournament just a few days after an impressive victory in the first round against Daria Kasatkina brought an early end.

During a change between the games, Collins noticed that the cameraman was nearby and did not stand to confront them. She got up from her chair and went up to her, asked for more space and asked her to move away from Raducanu. Collins described his behavior as “wild inappropriate” in an angry joke that was taken up in the live broadcast.

She said: “I have to get water. We are on a change. You don’t have to be so close to me and you don’t have to be on Emma. It is wild inappropriate. It is not so difficult to give space, I’m sorry.”

After ending her verbal tirade, Collins gave up her water bottle awkward when the cameraman kept filming before finally returning to the square.

Raducanu started the game well, claimed the first sentence and claimed the impressive form she showed against Kasatkina. At that time, Collins found her feet and won six of the next seven games to take the second set and force a decision.

It looked like Raducanu was forced to withdraw when it increased a back injury and called for a medical break. She left the court with her physiotor, but finally returned to the last sentence that Collins won to seal a 4-6 6-1 6: 3 victory.

After the victory, Collins said: “To be good in something, self -expression is really important. There are not many successful people who feel that they are not themselves. I am a competitor at the end of the day. I’m not meek and mild.”

After the American admitted her frustration that Iga Swiatek did not have enough recognition last week to annoy Iga Swiadek. She prevailed in the best performance of the year, but a large part of the reaction revolved around her opponent.

When Collins spoke with the tennis channel in conversation with Raducanu: “I thought I played very well against IGA. I didn’t get much recognition for it. After the game, of course, you know, of course, only how badly she (Swiatek) played and everything.

“It can make it difficult to celebrate your victory sometimes when you feel like you have a good match, or you play well and it is just like” whatever “.

In the next round in Strasbourg, Collins will face the winner of the collision between Jessica Pegula and Anna Kalinskaya. She hopes to avoid further confrontations with the radio employee if she returns to the court on Thursday.
