COACHING RAP JUST GARBAGE

- BY NEIL McLEMAN

GARBINE MUGURUZA denied she had received illegal coaching after she clinched a place in another Wimbledon semi-final.

The 2015 runner-up (above) beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3 6-4, but the Russian No.7 seed claimed the Spaniard’s physio was giving out instructio­ns.

“It was pretty clear because we all speak Spanish,” said Kuznetsova. “It’s not appropriat­e. My coach says it’s elements of coaching.”

But the 2016 French Open winner insisted: “They were cheering for me. I know she speaks Spanish. The coach is Spanish. Honestly, they were cheering for me.”
