Judging by the mangled remains of Andrea Petkovic’s racquet, doubles isn’t always fun and games for top players. According to an eye-witness, quite a bit went down when the two entertainers teamed up for the first time earlier today;
Apparently (Andrea) & JJ believed that the ball they hit in a net exchange or rally just slightly touched Spears’ racquet frame, but the umpire didn’t agree. That’s how it kind of started, both got really pissed off & even Andrea went over to Abigail & asked her if her racquet touched the ball and Abigail said nothing which made both Andrea & JJ even more annoyed.
Plus both weren’t too happy with some line calls in the MTB. Crowd booed the ump & really got into it.
Both Jelena and Andrea have both had their fair share of drama over the years (*cough* understatement of the century *cough*), so I guess it’s only natural that when they come together as a team, their very first match should apparently involve cheating opponents, incompetent linespeople and a rowdy crowd to top it all off. Bless.
