Anastasia Potapova chose to make public an episode experienced during a flight to New York, where she was headed for the US Open. The tennis player, ranked 25th in the world, recounted on social media feeling treated with extreme rudeness by a flight attendant, involving her dog in the incident.

Potapova also posted a photo of the attendant, identified as “Mary,” on social media, explaining that she had already reported the incident to the airline. In her account, she openly speaks of a lack of respect and even uses the term discrimination: “I have never done anything like this before, but right now I really cannot stay silent — her words — As a professional athlete, I travel a lot all over the world, but this is the very first time I have experienced such a level of disrespect, rudeness, and, in a way, discrimination.”

The player then reconstructed what happened on flight UA678 from Houston to New York: “I dealt with a flight attendant who seemed to do everything, repeatedly and without any apparent reason, to make things difficult for me”.

In the story posted online, she then showed the face of the attendant and made an appeal to the company: “Her name is Mary — her words again — I really hope your airline checks this situation and takes it seriously.” At the base of the discussion could be the respect of the rules on the transport of animals in the cabin, which must remain in carriers during the flight. A story still to be clarified.
