After his victory over Elias Ymer, the tennis player regretted not being able to add units, which will directly affect his admission to Cincinnati and Montreal, for which he will continue to drop the rankings considerably. “It hurts me a lot,” he said.
After the surprising change of rival after the loss of Matteo Berrettini and his comfortable victory over Swede Elias Ymer, Christian Garin analyzed what he went through and also regretted again that Wimbledon did not deliver points for the classification after the decision of the ATP after the measure of the tournament not to admit Russian and Belarusian players, due to the role of these countries in the invasion of Ukraine.
“It hurts me a lot that no points were awarded. The coming weeks are the closures of Montreal and Cincinnati, I will be out and I will not even have the opportunity to defend my points . From the first moment I said it was a very rare decision by the ATP and I don’t know why,” he said.
He also interviewed tennis players who agreed with such a measure. “I have yet to hear from a player who has told me he supports the decision. . However, in the Players Council (Players Council) there are players who supported the decision of the ATP. Many are players who haven’t even prepared for the tournament or haven’t played it,” he said.
Regarding the improvised change of rival after the withdrawal of Matteo Berrettini due to Covid, Gago explained how he dealt with this situation. “It was a surprise because I found out at 11:30 a.m. and my game was at one o’clock, so it was a drastic change. It was a difficult match because going from the first court against Berrettini to Ymer, who didn’t know him very well, is a big change. I’m so happy with the way I handled it.” commented.
He even told an anecdote. “I was listening to my music, when Pepe (Vendrell), my trainer, comes and says to me: ‘Berrettini is down.’ It was very strange because he was a big favorite for the tournament. I did not expect it at all because I had seen him train two days ago. Honestly, I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know my rival well, I didn’t know what time I was playing… People came up to me and said ‘congratulations…’. How congratulations? I have to play a game.” story.
