You need mental comfort

The press conference of the Polish player Iga Chefiontek, the world ranking, witnessed a sharp controversy with a journalist after leaving the quarter -finals of the American Open by American Amanda Anisimova.

Chefiontek, which fought a crowded season, was crowned with Wimbledon’s title and Centuty Championship, was asked if she needed “mental comfort”. “I don’t know, my matches were not exhausted here,” she replied.

When the journalist explained that he meant a mental break, the player responded sarcastically: “It seems that you are the one who needs mental comfort.”

After a mutual joke, Chefiontek wished him a “good luck” in completing his coverage until the end of the tournament, in a tense atmosphere that sparked widespread interaction between the press and the public.
