Olympics: Matty and the Missile take you through another action packed day in Paris, which saw a mixed result for the Aussies.
Mixed results for Aussies; New Phelps? | 23:36Super snarky or simply straight-talking, some searing critiques from America ’s star-laden team after losses in Paris have raised more eyebrows than the quality of the tennis they have produced at Roland Garros over the past week.
TOPSHOT - Poland's Iga Swiatek is struck by a ball hit back at her by US' Danielle Collins during their women's singles quarter-final tennis match on Court Suzanne-Lenglen at the Roland-Garros Stadium during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in Paris on July 31, 2024. Australia has not enjoyed the upper-hand in the tennis, admittedly, though Matt Ebden and John Peers are through to the semifinals.
The 30-year-old, whose aggression rattled the world’s dominant clay court player as she extended their quarterfinal to three sets, said later that she “did not need the fakeness” after confronting Swiatek at the net.“I haven’t had the best experience and I don’t really feel like anybody needs to be insincere. They can be the way that they are, and I accept that, and I don’t need the fakeness.”
“I just told her I didn’t respect her as a competitor. I think she goes about things in a pretty cutthroat way,” Navarro said. PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 25: Emma Navarro of Team United States speaks to the media during a Team United States Tennis Press Conference at Main Press Centre ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on July 25, 2024 in Paris, France.
