Konta, Tsonga, Querrey speak about flying ants at Wimbledon

Reply Subscribe
It was a particular day in Wimbledon at the All England Club on Wednesday. You could see Donna Vekic getting bothered by flying ants against the home favourite player Johanna Konta. The Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend and Konta as well had to put some sunscreen in order to get the situation better.





'I definitely have taken home a few both in my belly and in my bags', said Konta. 'I'm pretty sure I have.' 'That was strange. There was flies, flies', said the French Jo-Wilfried Tsonga after beating the Italian Simone Bolelli in straight sets.

'It was in my nose and in my ear. It's special, I would say.' Also the American Sam Querrey had a similar problem during his four sets win over Nikoloz Basilashvili. 'I almost wanted to stop because they were hitting you in the face when you were trying to hit balls.

(They were) all over the place', said Querrey, who upset Novak Djokovic last year at third round level. 'I lost a set when the ants came. If I had won that set, probably wouldn't have bugged me as much
