Andy Murray comes out in defense of Raducanu after criticism at Wimbledon

The mysterious abandonment of Emma Raducanu, the new British tennis sensation, at Wimbledon continues to generate controversy in the UK. Despite the fact that the tennis player published a letter in which she reported that she left due to respiratory problems, there are several voices that continue to criticize Raducanu for not knowing how to manage the pressure in his match against Ajla Tomljanovic.

One of the most critical has been the controversial television presenter Piers Morgan, who wrote the following message on Twitter in response to an article published in the Telegraph. “Criticizing young male athletes is fine. But if you criticize young female athletes: MYSOME! That is not equality, ladies.”wrote the controversial presenter.

A tweet that Andy Murray did not like at all, who came out in defense of Raducanu with this response. “Does the article really say that? 'Criticizing young male athletes is okay.' I've read that and that's not my conclusion. I think criticizing young athletes is fine, but at the same time I'm not sure what she (Emma Raducanu) did at Wimbledon to deserve anything other than praise. “

Morgan responded harshly to Murray: “Do you think that retiring because you can't stand the heat is commendable? REALLY? I do agree with what Federer said about Djokovic when he did it (at the 2009 Australian Open)”, to which Murray replied: “I don't think people should be praised for quitting.”

Not content with that Morgan provoked Murray again with this message. “My favorite quote about pressure in sports: 'There is no pressure in the cricket tests. The real pressure is when you fly in a Mosquito with a Messerschmitt stuck to your ass', by Keith Miller “, to which Murray responded with this message in which he criticized Morgan's double standards when talking about handling pressure. “There is no question that flying a fighter jet in a war would be incredibly stressful. Pressure comes in many different ways. You praised Jorginho for how he handled the 'incredible pressure' on Tuesday (for the decisive penalty in the match between Italy and Spain at the Euro). What is your point?”
