Former member of the world's top ten and owner of Mutua Madrid Open, Ion Tiriac, was not happy with the final match at Roland Garros. In his statement, he revealed that champion Ashleigh Barty was didn't play so well to deserve the French Open title. At the same time, he criticized the whole final.

Translation:
"The women's final at Roland Garros was the worst I've ever seen," Tiriac said, saying he had even left the final match after four games. "Please excuse my sincerity. After four games I wanted to leave and even did it! ”

"In the final, Sharapova, Halep, or Williams were missing. Barty has won only one credit. It's an Australian," said Tiriac. "They can't write or read, but there's always someone who has good technical knowledge from A to Z," he nodded indiscriminately.

Tiriac also criticized his compatriot Halep, which lost in QF with Anisimova:
"She played horribly, deep below her level. Quarterfinal is not a success for me. She didn't have the spark she needed at all, "

1972 Davis Cup final cheater (and loser) . : )

Ion Tiriac: chiseling dirtbag.

 

[tacou]

so tired of this person and bummed that (to my knowledge) Simona has never distanced herself.

 

[r2473]

1. He has lots of money
2. His opinion, even if ridiculous, matters more than mine ever will
3. He has lots of money

"It's an Australian," said Tiriac. "They can't write or read."

lmao

 

[JadeC]

More reasons to not like him.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Has to be some slagged gossip type source looking for clickbait controversy to get hits.

No respected journal or reporter would give him time.

 

[ibbi]

I like how how he groups Halep in with Williams and Sharapova I... wonder why?

 

[Ann]

Why would anyone quote him here?

 

[aussie]

I'd like to respond with something witty, cutting and clever, but I can't read or write.

 

[bjsnider]

Kyrgios should also use the quote "Please excuse my sincerity."

 

[Mainad]

I get the impression he's a bit peeved that Halep didn't make the final this year.

 

[Nostradamus]

"It's an Australian," said Tiriac. "They can't write or read."

WHO is that ? is he Australian ?? or Tiriac's brother ?

He's a hunter who bragged about killing "tens of thousands of animals." Hope he rots in hell for that alone.

His comment that Australians "Can't write or read" is gratuitous, but I can't really disagree on his assessment of the final. It was a terrible match.

 

[Standaa]

Who’s he?

Wait I’d rather not know.

But credit to him for enduring 4 games of that final.

 

[ghostofMecir]

The guy is an old billionaire with **** you money—he’s going to say whatever the hell he wants.

 

[Deon Sanders]

He is learning

The French Open is trash

Welcome to the educated tennis elite

Fools don’t become billionaires.

 

[Raindogs]

This guy is 99% total card-carrying slimeball.

I give him a 1% pass for the models he used as ballgirls/umbrella holders at his tourney, the Mutua Madrid Open.

Indeed an anti climax. Not sure that was Barty's fault as she was barely stretched at by Vondrousova.

Tiriac is another rich idiot.

But he was right in one thing - the FO women's final was very disappointing.

 

[Chadalina]

Its ok to tell the truth, as long as it isnt towards a protected class

Rich idiot makes no sense in particular when you are a self made billionaire.

Now more than ever, we have plenty of evidence that many rich people are idiots.

There's a prescient passage from Margin Call where Kevin Spacey's character finds he has to dumb it down more and more the higher up the hierarchy he goes.

 

[King No1e]

Tiriac sounds like an old, rich Kyrgios.

Ummmm. Literacy rates in Australia are higher than in Romania.

Worse, Australia has a very high rate of people having completed tertiary education while Romania has the lowest in the EU.

I think it's clear that he specifically meant to insult Barty as an aboriginal.

 

[Dolgopolov85]

I think it's clear that he specifically meant to insult Barty as an aboriginal.

Which would be par for the course coming from him.

 

[NEW_BORN]

I don't know which is more offensive, referring to Barty as an "it", or claiming that an entire continent of people are illiterate. What a disgraceful maggot.

Personally I like the guy. However, you make a great point and I agree with you.

"It's an Australian," said Tiriac. "They can't write or read."

LOL!!!!! I like him already

 

[sredna42]

Mayne, i wish he'd added "sorry to tell you mate" onto it, would have been god-tier

 

[MeatTornado]

Well that was good for a laugh at least. Must be nice to be old, rich and not care what anyone thinks.

Hard to disagree with the crux of what he said though. The final was terrible, and quarter-finals should not be good enough for Halep. She does lack a spark.

Rich idiot makes no sense in particular when you are a self made billionaire.

Seriously? Sure, a person can have a talent for making money, but that is only one aspect of living. There are 'self made billionaires' who are law breakers, who treat people poorly, and are personal failures in many other ways (like Tiriac). Having lots of money certainly can make life easier, but it is no guarantee for happiness or personal success.

You’re arguing a strawman. The poster didn’t say a self-made billionaire was a good person, was content, etc., but the fact that he was a self-made billionaire, ipso facto makes him most likely not an “idiot.”

Disgusting. Never want to see his face on telly again.

 

[Sentinel]

IIRC there's something that can be said about him but I don't want to go down to his level.

 

[Fedr and three others]

How on earth is he in the Hall of Fame

 

[Purplemonster]

Now more than ever, we have plenty of evidence that many rich people are idiots.

Then can you please enlighten me as to how these “idiots” become rich ? Really curious to know. And would you happen to be a self made billionaire ???

 

[Tommy Haas]

Is Barty part aborigine? Obviously she's not full, but that's racist if Tiriac inferred that.

I never mentioned anything about happiness but anyone who is very rich needs to have a brain, regardless of whether they are nice people or not.

 

[EloQuent]

Yes, she is. On her father's side.

 

[terribleIVAN]

Tiriac learned well the old proven communist tactic of elevating oneself at the expense of others.

And he does indeed need elevating, since he was exposed 20 years ago by German authorities as a mafioso trafficking in mercedes cars.

The evidence seems to have disappeared even from the internet.
