It was not possible to train properly for months, especially not to compete, after that we were treated unworthily at the US Open, although it could have been an even bigger opportunity. The victory was born after a very, very long quarantine, in a supposed bubble, which is special – Csaba Babos, father of the tennis player and head of the coaching staff, told InfoRádió about his victory at Roland Garros.
Tímea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic of France defended their first place in Paris in women’s doubles last year, earning their fourth joint Grand Slam win this year at Roland Garros, which was relocated from spring to fall due to the pandemic.
According to Csaba Babos, of the six games this year in Paris
the semi-final was the most difficult for the Hungarian-French couple,
Because the Czech duo Barbora Krejcíková – Katerina Siniaková played in very good form, they fought a great battle among themselves, they also won the world championship final against them last year and won Roland Garros 2018. Their banner was the one proposed in the final. Also, once again, the Babos lost a set in the tournament in the round of 16.
The father-coach said that Kristina Mladenovic had been very exhausted in recent weeks after her partner was disqualified from the US Open, the French player was unable to go home, had to remain in quarantine for ten days after the disqualification, and I was fully prepared physically and mentally, and then in Paris. for more than twenty days they were only able to leave their room for meals and only move between the track and the hotel.
Csaba Babos considers her exclusion in New York to be an immensely unfair decision, as both players had a negative coronavirus test that day, and player Kristina Mladenovic came into contact with countless negative tests before and after, only one was positive, thus it appears that the screening test was faulty. Only they were excluded, Csaba Babos said, adding that
seek legal action to provide material and moral satisfaction to the couple.
As a first point to note, so that they had already played a game and had not produced any positive result, they were discarded in New York. So there was a desire to demonstrate in pairs in Paris, and the final was hampered by the fact that Kristina Mladenovic had already reached the limit of her physical and nervous performance by then.
Csaba Babos summed up the year as
The season began with a victory at the Australian Open, defending his title at Roland Garros,
This was the Hungarian tennis player’s last major competition this year, because the world championship will not be played this year, so he does not have a chance to achieve his fourth success there yet.
Teamwork
Andrea Temesvári, who won the Roland Garros female partner award with Martina Navratilova in 1986, also pointed out in an interview with InfoRádió that quarantine measures create a special situation, which can only be adapted through teamwork, in as much as possible. The former tennis player says Eastern European players traditionally like Roland Garros because they grow on scum, but many, including Tímea Babos, are already performing well on faster decks.
