I'm loving Yulia's creativity in diffusing tension during the match! Who knew singing Russian rabbit songs could be a winning strategy? But seriously, it's crazy to think that some fans were cheering her on by making fun of her music choice . Putintseva handled it all with so much class and confidence, though - kudos to her for staying calm under pressure!
I'm not sure what's more surprising - that Yulia Putintseva actually pulled off a win in that match or that she decided to bust out some old Russian folk tunes on the court . Either way, it shows that even when things are going crazy, you gotta think outside the box (or in this case, inside the stadium ). But seriously though, those jeers and catcalls can be really tough to deal with - I feel for her if she was getting belittled like that . Maybe the music thing was a bit unconventional, but hey, if it worked, who's complaining?
