Federico Coria will not have fond memories of this edition of Roland Garros. The Argentine, ranked 71st in the world, was eliminated in the first round of the Paris tournament after squandering a set lead against American Taylor Fritz, losing 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 and 6-1 in 2 hours and 28 minutes.
A bad result that remains only an anecdote after what happened just a few days later on his return to Barcelona, the city where he spent some time.
“They robbed us… I’m not making this video for pity but to alert those who come to Barcelona” denounced the tennis player, who explained the case in detail through his social networks.
“Yesterday we arrived in Barcelona, we asked for a car in the airport parking lot. The cars here are located in such a way that you cannot access them with a suitcase trolley. I got in the car and my girlfriend saw that someone had run away.” he began.
“He chased him down one of the airport stairs and I went the other way too. When we went to look for this guy, I didn’t lock the car and we don’t know if someone broke in or what, but they took my rackets. They also took my girlfriend’s backpack with an engagement ring.“, his mobile phone, his passport… I am not making this video to show pity but to alert those who come to Barcelona,” continued the Argentine, who filed a complaint with the airport police, but his property was not recovered property.
“When they gave me the car key, I saw that there were three men, who were ahead of us and didn’t call them. We believe they mark us. They get in between the cars and operate like that. My idea of making the video was to alert, if I could, at least one person, so that the same thing does not happen to them,” he concluded.
