The Chilean fell on Monday against the Spaniard Pedro Martínez, which provoked strong reactions on the player’s social networks.
It was not a good day for Christian Garin. The national tennis player made his debut this Monday at the ATP in Rio de Janeiro. His rival was Spaniard Pedro Martínez for the contest’s top 32 round. Despite Gago struggling, he fell in straight sets 6-7, 4-6, so his adventure in Brazil ended quickly.
The loss was a blow for a tennis player who was raising his level after his performance for Chile in the Davis Cup against Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, as the hours passed, Garin himself exposed a situation that is not new in his career.
At around 11 p.m., he uploaded a video to his Instagram stories in which he showed the notifications that had come to him in the past few hours, where criticism, mockery and even threats were appreciated. The file was published on the social network accompanied by the following mention: “More than 1,000 dms with threats. Cute”.
It is not the first time
Unfortunately, It is not the first time that the national tennis player has complained about these characteristics. In January last year, he reached the third round of the Australian Open, where he was knocked out by Frenchman Gael Monfils. After the fall, his social networks were also filled with messages. On this occasion, Garin published: “The number of insults and threats that you have to read these days after each match is incredible.”
Just before coming to play in Chile
This all happens just before the Chile Open, a contest to be held between February 27 and March 5 in San Carlos de Apoquindo and where Garin is the big local credit.
