While some players like receiving tips during matches, some players just hate it. Belinda Bencic can be a perfect example of the latter, as seen during her match against Mirra Andreeva today. The Swiss star was engrossed in a close second set, which was keenly fought by both players. Toward the end of the second set, Andreeva lost some crucial points and was left frustrated by her play despite leading by one set to love. Subsequently, her coach, Matej Liptak, tried giving her some tips to change the course of the set. However, it was met with a stern reaction by Bencic.
The Swiss star has been around the tennis circuit for a long time. She has the experience to perform on the big stage and has played in some big encounters in her career. However, on this occasion, when her coach tried giving her tips, Bencic caught a frustrated look and hit out at her coach, saying, “I don’t want to know what I have to play.” Clearly, Bencic wanted to be left alone at that moment and find the solutions herself.
Bencic: I don’t want to know what I have to play.
Love that! She might be frustrated, but she doesn’t want her coach to tell her what to do. She knows what she should do.#bencic #WIMBLEDON
