During her duel won on the central court at Roland‐Garros against Caroline Garcia, Anna Blinkova had the chance to score an important ball on a winning let. In the audience, a spectator then shouted “pussy”. The Russian who knows French well admits to us today that it didn’t really bother her.
« To tell the truth, I understood the message (laughs) but it didn’t disturb me. I played well and above all I knew before facing Caroline that the public was going to be fully behind her, which is logical. So, I was prepared to face this atmosphere. This is surely one of the most important victories of my career so far. Furthermore, winning in France against the country’s number 1 at Roland-Garros, for me who loves this country, was really very special, when I think about it I get chills.”
