Möödunudöine Austraalia lahtiste kaheksandikfinaal Anett Kontaveidi ja Carla Suarez Navarro vahel pakkus ohtralt kõneainet mitte ainult Eestis ja Hispaanias, vaid ka tennisesõprade seas üle maailma.
Twitter möllab: «Anett liigub väikeste sammude haaval maailma tipu poole.»
Sajad mängu jälginud inimesed postitasid nii kohtumise ajal kui ka selle järel Twitterisse säutse. Kui mängu alguses tunnustati Kontaveiti suurepärase agressiivse mängu eest, siis lõpuks oldi üllatunud ja enamjaolt ka kurvad, et eestlanna mängu võidusadamasse tüürida ei suutnud.
«Anett Kontaveit meenutab mulle nii palju Maria Šarapovat» ja «Kontaveit liigub väikeste sammude haaval maailma tipu suunas» on vaid mõned säutsudest, mis Twitterisse postitati.
Twitteri reaktsioonid Kontaveidi ja Navarro mängust:
Anett Kontaveit reminds me so much of Maria Sharapova! I don’t mean in her looks!! I mean her Demeanor. Walks like her plays like her walks to back of court during Points!! But is Quiet!!! No Screaming!!

The special thing about Kontaveit is that not only her game is good, but her on-court attitude is also spectacular. That attitude is the one that wins slams

Amazing match from Kontaveit however, she’s one to watch this season

Kontaveit is slowly getting there. Small steps. I wish she'd just take a leap towards the big time now. This was a chance.

A little sense of disappointment upon waking for Anett Kontaveit and Magdalena Rybarikova. With the latter it was obvious Wozniacki would prove too much. Had an inkling Suarez Navarro's experience might be a factor in her match though.#AusOpen #AustralianOpen #AusOpen2018

That was a tough loss but a great showing from Suarez Navarro. Cheers to her. Kontaveit still shows some problems finishing but I don't want to take any credit away from Carla. Carla showed poise and hit some big gutsy shots. Fun match too bad I was on the wrong side of it

I backed Saurez navarro to beat Kontaveit, both players played fantastic tennis . The match looked over when kontaveit was serving for the match winning 5-4 in the deciding set, but some how navarro came back to win the set 8-6 and the match 2-1 . pic.twitter.com/Bg4ger2iCf
