Kuznetsova slams grass whingers

Russian star Svetlana Kuznetsova has rapped her rivals who groan about having to play on grass at Wimbledon and told them to follow clay-court ace Rafael Nadal’s example.

Kuznetsova, three times a Wimbledon quarter-finalist even though she admits to preferring hard courts, is top seed at Eastbourne’s £300,000 (€378,000) International Women’s Open where she will start her campaign for a second title today.
