Miyu Kato left the press conference in tears

Left without the money she should have received for her performance in the round of 16 in the women’s doubles, Kato teamed up with Germany’s Tim Puetz to reach the semi-finals of the mixed doubles.

After winning the quarters (7-6, 6-2 against Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos, the Australian Open champions), Miu began to cry and was hugged by her colleague.

The same thing happened at the press conference, after the journalist asked the Japanese a question: “I see you are very upset, can you at least tell us how difficult it was for you to return to the field today and how you felt? “.

Kato and Puetz will play for a place in the grand final against the match-winning team of Aldil Sujiadi (Japan women’s doubles partner)/Mathew Middelcup – Hao-Ching Chan/Fabrice Martin.
