Rennae Stubbs rips Martina Trevisan's bad gesture: "Pathetic"

Martina Trevisan's adventure in Hamburg ends in the quarterfinals. She beat the German player Noma Noha Akugue, who prevails with the result of 5-7, 6-4, 7-5. The former number one in Italy immediately starts strong, immediately taking up 3-0.

It seems like a downhill match, but the Italian suffers the comeback of the German, who however has to surrender in the first set. The second set was brought home by the young 19-year-old who, with powerful and precise shots, closed the set in her favor.

In the third set, it's a fierce fight. of strength rather than tactics, with the two play it out with breaks and breaks. Noha Akugue is much colder in the decisive moment of the challenge. Trevisan is called to serve for the match, but she fails, while the German manages to win the match point right on the Italian's serve.

Rennae Stubbs rips Martina Trevisan's bad gesture: "Pathetic handshake"

The tennis player from Reinbek, a few steps from Hamburg, bursts into tears for the all-important victory. Trevisan, annoyed by her defeat, reaches the net and shakes her hand without much feeling.

A few hours later came the condemnation by the former Australian doubles champion and former Serena Williams' coach Rennae Stubbs, now an attentive sports commentator. The former Sydney tennis player did not take well the superficiality with which the Italian congratulated her young colleague.

She wrote on Twitter: "And I'm sorry that was a pathetic hand shake if that's what u call it from Trevisan! Bloody hell, the kid legit beat u and she's in tears walking to the net and u barely shake her hand. Not approved!!!"
