L-Rob came through a three setter against a 15 year-old Russian nutter. According to BecTeh, it was a hilarious match, as Putintseva apparently has a reputation for being...something:
The diminutive but confrontational 15 year-old Russian has developed quite a reputation for herself in a short space of time and her penchant for intimidating umpires by persistent arguing and attempting to influence the calls of line judges have become notorious.
“She is a pit-bull, pure and simple,” said Peter McNamara, the former Australian doubles champion who now figures amongst the elite coaching team at the Mouratoglou Academy just outside Paris. “She will fight and scrap and do anything. The only person I’ve seen argue and try and intimidate umpires more consistently is John McEnroe.
Fuck, I'd love to see this kid.
