Aranxta Sanchez Vicario, a myth of the WTA, has resigned as team captain of Spain's Fed Cup amid the monumental mess that presides over the daily lives of the Spanish Tennis Federation, where the current president is facing life or death (sport, that is) with several regional federations.
Letter of resignation
In his letter of resignation, Arantxa, winner of Roland Garros, states that "the latest incident of 'plant' of a large group of players to break relations with the RFET, was decisive" to make two decisions, including his resignation, irrevocable. "Supporting the players in their approach for which I have asked for my support," Arantxa lists. "Although I have not been part of any meeting between players or signatures talks, I can not ignore most of the players and stay outside." More fuel to the fire.
On 11 December, the leading Spanish players announced their decision to "break relations professional and personal level" with Escañuela, President of the Federation, considering that he had breached the agreements they signed two years ago in the Council Superior Sports to secure the future of women's tennis.
Conchita, candidate
Carla Suarez Garbiñe Muguruza, Maria Jose Martinez, Silvia Soler, Estrella Cabeza, Nuria Llagostera, Arantxa Parra, Lourdes Dominguez or Laura Pous are some of the "rebels", among which also included Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Conchita Martinez. The latter, which he later retracted, sounds like possible captain.
A Christmas Night at the Spanish court. Incidentally, how are you going to wear this Christmas?
