Arantxa Sanchez Vicario hits out on Anabel Medina Garrigues in a press conference – Tennis News
Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, Spain’s Federation Cup team captain, passed a harsh statement against the Spanish elite tennis icon, Anabel Medina Garrigues, in a press conference conducted on Wednesday. Sanchez went all out with no holds
barred against the player who is possibly a troublesome character for her.
Here is her statement about the player who played for Spain in Federation Cup before, “A Anabel Medina I have not called because it is not at its best, can be seen in its results, and because it is quite problematic because a player
does not get along with other players. In Fed Cup must have good atmosphere, fellowship, and she has no other partners along with this.”
The Spanish Tennis Federation President, Jose Luis Escañuela, didn’t like such a cruel statement against one of his players but didn’t go all against her in a reply to her statement. He stated, “Beyond the sporting criteria that
respect, I express my admiration for Anabel, which should be both Spanish tennis track and be by history, present and future of this sport.”
Spain will contest against the team of Slovakia in the World group Federation Cup tie from April 21-22. All the matches will be played in Puente Romano in Marbella and despite being deprived of the presence of their number one
tennis ace, Spain has an opportunity to upset more superior and talented Slovakian side.
It is expected to be a thrilling battle between the two teams. However, this press conference might raise several questions about the morale of Spanish players that are going to encounter a rigid attitude of their captain after
receiving a lot of criticism on her statement. This might raise conflicts of interests and players won’t be able to full concentrate on their aim of winning the tie and may not remain united to this cause.
Vicario will need to regroup the team and keep them united for the aim of winning the tie and marching on into the next round of the contest. The things are probably heating up and it is thought that Garrigues will soon hold a
press conference that will answer all the questions raised against her from the Fed Cup captain. It might arouse several differences between them and special action by the Tennis Federation of Spain is required to calm down the situation before it gets out
of hands. Celebrities never like anyone pinpointing at them in public and making such statements.
