Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev won many prizes, but at the US Open their paths converged in the quarter finals. The meeting between Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev in the US Open quarter was anticipated by many. And not only tennis fans, but also lovers of strong words. And Russian catchphrases in New York are heard not only on Brighton Beach.
In the 1/8 finals, Rublev suffered for a long time with the Briton Jack Draper. He lost points, freaked out, and attacked himself and his opponent.
“Your mother, bitch, ***, how can I ***,” rushed from the court.
This is how Andrei habitually turned himself on and splashed out his emotions. Then the game went on, Rublev calmed down and won in four sets.
Medvedev behaves much more restrained on the court.
– He is a very honest, calm and modest person. It’s very easy to communicate with him,” Rublev says about his friend.
Daniel gives his daughter’s godfather a return compliment:
– We are very close. He is a kind man, religious.
$20 thousand for a catchphrase
Tennis players must remember that referees are specifically trained to recognize profanity.
– We are given a list of swear words in different languages. And if I hear swearing in French or Russian, it’s a violation of the rules,” Bernadette Holton explained.
For swearing at ATP and WTA tournaments, a fine of up to $5 thousand is imposed, Grand Slam – up to $20 thousand.
– In Australia, I was once fined $2,500 for “*** your mother,” but I won the fine. I was forgiven, thank God,” Daria Kasatkina is pleased.
Dinara Safina was also lucky. After a lost match at Roland Garros, she said in her hearts:
– How many times can you hit *** with a blow, ***, under the back line, well *** already! – however, the referee pretended not to hear the tirade.
But Svetlana Kuznetsova suffered undeservedly. She shouted pista (court) in Spanish, but the judge heard her curse in Russian. Just like the same Andrei Rublev, who was fined at a tournament in Rome for a harmless fly.
