Beaten Czech takes to Twitter to vent fury

25 June 2012, 22:34

Czech Republic player Iveta Benesova slumped to a 6-2, 6-1 defeat to Britain's Heather Watson at Wimbledon on Monday and found herself lambasted for using Twitter to take out her instant frustration.

"F WORD GRASS!!!!!!!!" wrote the 29-year-old just moments after coming off Centre Court where she had been comprehensively outplayed by the young Briton.

"Some of you guys may not like it, but what can I do," she then added.

"I prefer to say it out loud than to pretend smth! Plus Heather played awesome match."
