"She has done theatre, she has faked injuries" - Radwanska on Azarenka

| by Evita Mueller

Agnieszka Radwanska gave her opinion on Victoria Azarenka storming off the court in Miami slamming her former WTA tour colleague and labelling her conduct as "incomprehensible."

Azarenka retired midway through her Miami Open second-round match against 16-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova in March after falling behind 2-6, 0-3. The chair umpire wanted her to wait for the physio but She completely disregarded those pleas and walked off the court.

"If I returned to the court after the birth of my son, I would certainly have an even greater distance than I used to. Do you remember what Azarenka did this year? She has done theatre more than once before, she has faked injuries etc" said Radwanska adding:

"I watch her match in Miami, I look and something doesn't match her. She was losing and just left the court in the middle of the set. I think: "God, girl ... You're 33, you've got everything on the court, you're a mom. And you do something like that!" It is completely incomprehensible to me."

Radwanska also reacounted their 2012 Doha match that made Radwanska lose a lot of respect for her opponent.

"Well, to be honest, I don't think this is worth a comment. But I think after this match (in Doha)... just lost a lot of respect. That's it. "If you do this in the match, if anyone didn't see the match, I think it's just a quick look on YouTube and you'll know what was going on."
