“It’s not easy to manage criticism, although sometimes we even get laughed at because people don’t realize that we are two people with the same passion. Sometimes, apart from separately, we also train together, so in short we train as much or more than others,” he said.
“I would better understand this criticism of the interference if it was with someone from another world, but being two athletes with a very clear goal, what I think is that people do not know what they are judging. Personally, what bothers me the most is when people talk about other people’s truth. I understand criticism of my professional side, of my tennis, of losing or winning, but linking that to something personal seems disrespectful to me.” he added.
