Rodrigo Salgado, one of the leaders of this discipline, regretted the use of modern tracks for purposes other than sporting ones.
This weekend, Chile promises a party at the renovated Racquet Sports Center at the National Stadium. There, the team led by Nicolás Massú will host Peru in two matches scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday at Central Court. Both days promise full stadiums. However, if all goes well within the Tennis Federation, its Racquetball counterpart regrets certain situations.
In a two-minute video, Rodrigo Salgado, director of the Racquetball Federation, shows the tour he made of the facilities. There he confirmed the use that his tennis peers make of the courts, mainly as a dining room and catering, which triggered the fury of the leader.
“They have a lot of empty rooms and they are occupying the grounds. The only field in Chile and one of the few good ones in South America, with a semi-stadium wall, as a dining room. “They didn’t even bother to completely cover the floor,” explains the manager.
During his trip, he insisted on the possible damage that these modern roads could suffer. “There are three courtyards which serve as a dining room and the last one for catering. These are foreign fields, this center cost 22 billion pesos and we are in that one. It will end up all scratched, all in a bag, after working on this problem. “I personally worked on this file, I got angry and I am very sad about this situation.” concludes the leader.
Precautions
In another video, a significant number of ants are also seen on the ground, which has also caused concern among squash officials.
When the federation was consulted on the subject, it refused to raise the subject, due to the imminence of the Davis Cup series. However, They specify that they tried to take appropriate precautions and that several areas were protected with artificial turf. Furthermore, They also have not received any official complaints from their racquetball peers.
In this sense, the Racquet Center has common areas, through which athletes must pass to access the tennis courts. Likewise, the ITF also has certain spaces that can and cannot be occupied.
