The closer to the match, the less eagerness to jokes. In the morning, Tadeusz Kruszelnicki still laughed that he was always seeded here, and it was enough that Anna Kurek took the refferee’s office, and he was no longer in the top eight of the starting list. Just in case, he added that it was not her fault, and went to his duties.
It should be explained on behalf of the five-time winner of the Płock Orlen Polish Open (record!) that the reason for his fall in the ITF ranking is obvious – if you play little, you get little points. And Kruszelnicki has been playing less frequently lately, because for personal reasons he cannot travel around the world as much as he used to.
He didn’t play for long today either. Beating Szymon Nowicki 6:0, 6:0, he left no doubt that he never takes jokes with him from the locker room to the court.
