There was a bizarre moment during a press conference at Wimbledon in which Victoria Azarenka suspected a reporter of getting her nationality wrong.
There are few certainties in sports, but Wimbledon comes with a few: strawberries and cream, royals in the crowd, rain in the air – and awkward moments at press conferences.
That controversial decision led to the ATP and WTA, which run the male and female iterations of tennis, to strip the tournament of ranking points. Speaking after her win, Azarenka was asked how the crowd had treated her, and whether she’d been worried about the reception she’d get at Wimbledon.“Honestly, it was really nice. People are very nice,” she said.
“Today, to hear people say, ‘Let’s go, Vika,’ and cheering me on, was also why I play, to play in front of the crowd, to put on a good show. So that felt great.” “A lot of people don’t do that, unfortunately. I think it would be an easier way to manage the disagreements or agreements.”Next came the awkward moment, as Azarenka suspected a reporter of getting her nationality wrong.
“Just in terms of internationally, how you see Wimbledon’s culture and how big a tournament you see it as, internationally? You have obviously played in Russia in the past. How significant do you feel the tournament is?” said the reporter.“OK, so let me just clarify. You’re asking me how big do I feel that Wimbledon is on the international stage? Or what it means to me?” she pressed.
