Sleazy Nastase asked if I was virgin 30 times, says tennis star
Reduced to tears ... Johanna Konta that’.” Ms Shriver did not report Nastase’s behaviour and added: “I think it has all gone too far, I think it is over now. I think he is done as a coach.”
Her remarks come after Nastase, Romania’s Federation Cup captain, was banned from a crucial play- off tie against Great Britain over his extraordinary behaviour. He was ordered from the court by the match referee in the Romanian Black Sea town of Constanta on Saturday after he reduced Britain’s Johanna Konta to tears by screaming abuse.
Nastase appeared to refer to Ms Konta and Anne Keothavong, the British team captain, as “******* b**** es” during a dispute over crowd noise. The Romanian was then escorted from the venue by security officers after abusing the referee and umpire.
He had already upset Ms Keothavong, who is pregnant, by asking for her room number as they posed for a photograph together before the tie began.
