LONDON, July 10 – Johanna Konta did not appreciate the 34 unresolved errors raised as a topic of discussion after her disappointing loss of 7-6 (7/5), 6-1 to Barbora Strycova in the quarter-final yesterday at Wimbledon .
The 28-year-old Grand Slam semifinalist tripled three times, confusing a journalist who wondered if she thought she could better handle some crucial points.
"Is that your opinion on professional tennis?" Claqua the British player.
She reacted defensively when she was told that it was not only her opinion, but also that supported by the statistics.
"I do not think you need to harass me badly," she says.
"I mean, I think I'm very open to you guys, I say how I feel there, if you do not want to accept that answer or if you do not agree with she is good.
"I still believe in tennis that I play. I do not have much to add to your question. "
Konta was increasingly annoyed by the journalist's persistence, claiming that she might need to avoid these mistakes if she wanted to win the Grand Slam.
"Please do not watch me," she says.
"The way you ask your question, you are totally disrespectful and you drive me with respect.
"I am a professional competitor who has done his best today, and that's all there is to it."
Konta had to deal with more serious problems than journalists.
"I think everyone knows people who have social media accounts and play sports that are advertised," she said.
"I have certainly had many experiences, many people wanting my death and things like that.
"I do not think it's new to anyone. I have someone who filters, blocks and removes people. "
Konta, who was hoping to become the first British woman to win the Wimbledon Trophy since Virginia Wade in 1977, left on a provocative note.
"I am no less a person if I do not go beyond that," she said.
"I play this game with dignity and I love this sport." – AFP
