Grigor Dimitrov stands up for Hubert Hurkacz after a heated French Open match

Bulgaria’s tennis star Grigor Dimitrov has defended Poland’s
Hubert Hurkacz for commenting on the chair umpire during the French Open
fourth-round clash. The match ended with the 33-year-old coming out on top in straight
sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4, 7-6.
During the third set, Hurkacz argued with the chair umpire and asked Dimitrov whether he wanted to change the umpire before moving forward. After the incident after the match, the Haskovo-born star defended
Hurkacz and suggested that the comment was made ‘in the heat of the moment’.
“Listen, I think the thing is we all can say very difficult
things in the heat of a moment,” he said. “I'm sure whatever he said, it was
not meant in a bad way. As I said, he is one of the nicest guys on tour. Also,
the umpires, they're trying their best. It's a tricky business out there when
the ball gets so close to the line. So I think they're doing their best. On his
end we can all say difficult things in the heat of a moment, so I don't think
he meant anything bad on that end. As I said, everyone tries to do their best.
I think when you play match from such a calibre, when you see it from the
outside, of course, it gets tough on both ends. As I said, he doesn't mean any
harm or anything like that.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
