Fans react to Petra Kvitova’s comments on Nadal and Federer

Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to Kvitova’s statements in her latest interview.

“Petra is one of the nicest most humble players ever”, wrote a fan.

“It’s what’s NOT said here that’s the loud and clear. Petra thinks Novak is fake and inauthentic”, a fan shared his weird take.

“Why is it that only Novak fans are reacting negatively on this tweet? Where are Rune, Tsip and other tennis legend fans? My unsolicited advice is that, “do not read something that is not written, unless body language is the medium”, read another tweet.

“Damn not one tennis player does that beside roger and rafa?! Thats quite shocking. Thought it was a basic human nature”, joked another fan.

“Incoming angry djoker fans who are going to have a mental break down and toss clown emojis”, the trolls continued.
