Unglaublich, ein Vater einer Spielerin hat meine Doppelpartnerin niedergeschlagen und die liegt nun im Krankenhaus. Ob sie morgen beim Doppel antreten kann steht in den Sternen. Hoffentlich geht es ihr bald wieder besser und diese Attacke wird geahndet.

Scarlett sais the father of some player has been attacking her doubles partner (Elise Tamaela) and she's now in the hospital

Elise

Hope she's OK!! Would be a miracle if she plays tomorrow....

So weird, she didn't even play a real match..??

ITFtennis.com has this match as a default, not a retirement

Danielle HARMSEN (NED) (14) defeated Karen BARBAT (DEN) 4-2 Default

Vanesa Furlanetto (arg) said the same thing on twitter, so it must be true

So sad these things happen on the tour.

As the brother of Elise I can confirm the story... Elise has been attacked by the father of Karen Barbat whule watching her game. He was calling her names from the start of the game (all kind of racist things I'm not willing to repeat). After a while Elise said something about it, he then knocked her out with a punch and elbows to here temple. She immediately lost consciousness for about five minutes... After a while she was taken to the police station to press charges, the father and daughter flee, police still looking for them. At the police station Elise started the vomit continiously, an ambulance was called to take here to the nearest hospital. She's still on a intravenous drip with painkillers and needs to stay in the hospital till at least tomorrow morning (having a concussion and a bruised face)...

My father and I drove to Halle (where Elise is in the hospital) and are now in a hotel, we hope we can take Elise back to The Netherlands tomorrow...

The father/trainer of Karen Barbat will probably never see a (professional) tennis court again, that man is a true risk to all people around him!

WTF

Unbelievable.

Tennis Fool · Aug 9th, 2011, 02:14 AM

I'm sorry to hear that, Crash One. I hope your sister is doing better.

Someone needs to post this story in GM...

Tripp · Aug 9th, 2011, 02:18 AM

Wow, that is the craziest shit I have ever heard of in a tennis tournament. Hope Elise's OK and that douchebag gets what he deserves.

It's a pity for Karen Barbat, though. I'm sure she's going through a bad time as well.

Hurley · Aug 9th, 2011, 03:14 AM

Some people are just absolutely vile. Hope he gets a nice lengthy prison stay. I feel bad for the daughter but...I don't think she'll be able to keep playing.

Poor Elise, hope she recovers without too much of a struggle.
