A few weeks after considering that it was unfair to pay men and women equally in tennis, citing in particular the example of the outrageous domination of Serena Williams, Nikolay Davydenko attracted the wrath of Marion Bartoli.
Present this Sunday in the show “Les Grandes Gueules du Sport” on RMC Sportsthe winner of the 2013 edition of Wimbledon responded sharply to the former Russian player.
“I would still like to remind Nikolay Davydenko that when Roger Federer, in 2017, won Wimbledon without losing a set, using only jerks from the first to the last round, the hourly rate on the court must have been approximately equal to that of Serena Williams during her Grand Slam victories. There are still girls' matches that last more than four hours. There have been a lot of extremely long matches in women's tennis and there have been extremely short matches in men's tennis too. Davydenko is completely wrong, from start to finish. And the examples he cites, they are absolutely ridiculous. »
