In Monday’s qualifying match, Pavel Kotov (101st ATP) faced Kimmer Coppejans (178th ATP) and was the favorite of the clash. He beat his rival 6-4 in the first set and it seemed that he would keep his form in the second set as well. However, that did not happen. The Belgian triumphed 6:3 and a third set was needed to decide. In it, the Russian tennis player lost his nerves.
Russian angry with his mother. He told her to shut up, then explained
In the third set, Pavel Kotov was leading 5:2 and it seemed that he would quickly close the meeting. However, he lost the opponent’s serve and it became 5: 3. Then the Russian served and had a perfect chance for the final triumph. However, he was losing 0:30, and his mother was telling him in the stands. The 24-year-old might not stand it and burst out in anger towards the woman.
“Mom, if you don’t shut the fuck up, you’re going to get hit with the ball,” Kotov said furiously to the stands. His mother mightn’t advise him because she wasn’t his coach, but the reaction was far too harsh. Finally, the Russian won the game and the whole match, but only following 8:6 in the tie-break. He apologized for his behavior following the game.
“It was a tough game and you can’t always control yourself. I realize that such disgusting behavior is a bad example. I hope others won’t make my mistake and keep their nerves under control,” Kotov told Telegram.
