Tensions Flare Between Cristina Bucșa and Alexandra Eala After Heated Match
The US Open saw more fireworks off the court than on it when Alexandra Eala’s coach, Daniel Gomez, launched a furious tirade against Cristina Bucșa. Gomez blasted Bucșa’s racket-throwing incident after a crucial game, declaring:
“She’s tarnishing the image of tennis, a disgrace to Spanish sports.”
Bucșa quickly denied the accusations, but instead of stopping there, she went further—calling Eala “excessively boastful” and slamming her celebratory behavior as “disrespectful.”
In an effort to cool the storm, Eala took the high road. She congratulated Bucșa on a good match and emphasized her respect for her opponent. But Bucșa, visibly still fuming, dismissed Eala’s gesture as “fake”—before shocking the press room with 10 offensive words aimed directly at Eala.
The scandal has since dominated headlines, leaving fans divided and adding even more intensity to what is already becoming one of the most talked-about rivalries of the tournament.
