The Swiss tennis players accused the Russian national team of unfair tactical play in the Billie Jean King Cup final. Their opinion is quoted by the Tennis Majors.
The Swiss expressed confidence that the replacement by the coaching staff of the Russian national team Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova with Lyudmila Samsonova in the meeting against Belinda Benchich is an example of a scam, since Samsonova is an inconvenient rival for the Swiss.
The captain of the Swiss team, Hans Gunthardt, said that he considers the incident not a clever tactical move of the Russian team, but a deception. “I think it was ugly to be honest. But I am sure that good will win, that we will come back and win this title next time, ”Bencic agreed with him.
Daria Kasatkina and Lyudmila Samsonova won the Billie Jean King Cup on November 6. In the final they were stronger than the Swiss Belen Teichman and Belinda Benchich.
