“I think she was drunk. I don’t know if I drank too much gin or maybe tequila. But it was basically a fun situation. I can’t imagine why he did that, but there are all kinds of people in the world. She was doing what her condition dictated her to do at the time. But the fact that she deserved to be asked from the cards because it bothered me as much as my opponent, ”said the Spaniard.
