German tennis player attacks doubles partner

Actually, Tamara Korpatsch wanted to cause a surprise in the doubles at Wimbledon. But she didn’t even get to compete in the first round.

German tennis player Tamara Korpatsch has sharply criticised her French doubles partner Harmony Tan for pulling out of the Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon at short notice. Tan had written to her just an hour before her scheduled first-round match, the 27-year-old from Kaltenkirchen wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. She was “very sad, disappointed and also very angry”.

Tan had defeated superstar Serena Williams from the USA in more than three hours and three sets in the singles the previous evening. On Wednesday, she cancelled for the doubles due to injury. “It’s very unfair for me. I didn’t deserve this,” Korpatsch wrote. “She asked me before the tournament if we wanted to play doubles, I said yes. I didn’t ask her, she asked me. “

Whoever is knackered after a three-hour match the day before “cannot play professionally”, Korpatsch complained. In the singles she was eliminated in the first round against Heather Watson from Great Britain.
