Radwanska still seethes over Israel row
Polish tennis player alleges that 'unfair' and irresponsible behavior took place at Fed Cup, possibly referring to political demonstrations from Israeli crowd in Eilat
Whether Radwanska was referring to political demonstrations from the Israeli crowd in Eilat or differences with the home team after Poland's 2-1 victory over Israel was left unspecified, but there was no mistaking Radwanska's feelings.
"I was really disappointed," she said, when asked why Poland's post-match press conference in Israel had been so spectacularly brief.
"I didn't really expect something like this to happen on the tour, especially when a lot of teams were there and a lot of top players, and, yeah, a couple of things happened.
"You know, it's always sad and always unfair, as well. I think it's not a responsible way to behave," she said.
Last year Radwanska caused a stir at the Qatar Open by complaining about world number one Victoria Azarenka's on-court behavior.
This time though, in the context of reports that sections of the Israeli crowd made noisy allegations about anti-Semitism in Poland, Radwanska's remarks had a far more somber tinge.
Earlier she reached the last 16 in Doha with a 6-3, 6-2 over Anastasia Rodionova, a qualifier from Australia, and next plays Ana Ivanovic, the former world number one from Serbia.
