WTASunday, 04 June 2023 at 22:00
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova scored a big win over Elise Mertens at Roland Garros (French Open) on Sunday and she was asked whether she'll ask Wimbledon for a wild card.
Last year's Wimbledon edition banned all Russian and Belarusian athletes from the event but this year's edition will permit their participation. As a native Russian, Pavlyuchenkova will be permitted to play and she was asked whether she'll ask the event of a wild card due to her ranking to which simply burst out laughing.
She responded:
"Are you serious, after what happened last year? Actually, you're right, I'll ask and let you know at the next press conference. Fingers crossed.

- Don't like her... never liked her. She's a condescending (fill in the blank). That said -- WTA is failing the players by allowing these camera operators to hover over, or next to, players -- especially while physio teams are working on their exposed areas, etc., etc., etc. There should be a safe distance rule. Also: let's not forget it was the cameras taking closeups across the court and literally resulting in revealing "upskirt" views (hence the ladies now place a towel between their legs at the bench). This is not a hard choice!mandoist21-05-2025

- That would have hurt!! Another cool moment was a sky-high lob when Qinwen shot the ball (mistakenly) straight-up and came within a foot or so of the overhead drone. BTW: Been watching these damn drones at sporting events -- a major accident waiting to happen in crowded venues like tennis courts. Not to mention they are super distracting.mandoist16-05-2025
