Australian Open 2021: “He was boring” – Woman who showed middle finger to Rafael Nadal explains why she did so

An interesting incident happened during Rafael Nadal‘s match against Michael Mmoh when a woman was seen shouting at the Spaniard and showing the middle finger to him. Now, the woman has been contacted by an Australian radio channel and she has stated she was drinking before her outburst and that she thought Nadal was ‘boring to watch’.

The woman resides in Sydney and according to her, is a fan of Elina Svitolina and was watching her match before staying on to watch Nadal. When asked about her actions during the match she said, “It’s probably not a great look for me,” she admitted. She then stated that her daughter “wasn’t too happy” with what she’d done.

Following the conclusion of the match, Rafael Nadal was asked about the incident and he had said, “I don’t know what happened. Maybe she took in too much gin or tequila. Honestly it was strange situation, but funny at the same time. Sometimes there is people for everything around the world. It’s funny somebody doing the finger to me. I was surprised, yes, but at the same time was thinking: ‘Poor girl.’ Because probably she was drunk or something like this.”
