Strycova slams Serena Williams’ ‘nonsense’ claims
Rafael Nadal would not have behaved like Serena Williams did in the US Open final, says women’s world No 22 Barbora Strycova.
Williams has split opinion around the world with her behaviour during the straight-sets defeat to Naomi Osaka.
And Strycova has slammed her fellow professional for her nonsense attitude towards the official, which she claims you would not see from men’s world No 1 Nadal.
