Thursday, May 26 in Roland Garros 2022 was very close to being clouded by an episode of misconduct by the tennis player Irina-Camelia Begu .
In the third set, after losing a point, the Romanian decided to throw her racket into the stands and was very close to hitting a child.
This unsportsmanlike attitude caused the chair umpire to immediately call the tournament supervisor, who could have made the decision to disqualify Begu, but ultimately just issued her a warning.
Despite the fact that it was simply a fright, photographs of the little kid clearly distressed by the situation were leaked.
The photographs went viral on social media, eliciting harsh criticism of the 31-year-old tennis star; this isn’t the first time she’s been involved in such an incident during a tournament.
The player, who was the protagonist of this dangerous incident, was able to continue playing and ended up taking the victory with a score of 6/7 6/3 6/4.
One of the players, Paula Badosa of Spain, expressed her thoughts on this “accident” caused by an outburst of frustration. “The Begu thing is an accident, it may happen unintentionally. We have to control ourselves at that moment, because if you hit someone they have to disqualify you. I usually yell at myself,” said the current WTA #4.
In the third round of Roland Garros, Begu will face the French sensation Leolia Jeanjean (#225 in the world ranking), who comes from surprising everyone by beating the eighth seed, Karolina Pliskova, by a resounding 6/2 6/2.
Who is the top favorite for Roland Garros 2022?
Iga Swiatek came to the French Open as the new WTA #1, and in her first two appearances she lived up to her tag of “favorite to win the title”, which would be the second of her career.
After four sets played in the first two rounds, the 20-year-old Pole has only lost 4 games. These are impressive numbers that demonstrate her clear dominance over her rivals, a situation that makes us recall Rafael Nadal’s best times in the Parisian event.
In the current WTA season, the European has a record of 37 wins and 3 losses.
