Russian tennis player Maria Timofeeva was robbed in Madrid. She was at the WTA 1.000 tournament, lost in the final of the qualification and is the 99th player in the rating.
The 20-year-old player experienced stellar moments at the Australian Open, when she qualified as 170th on the WTA list and achieved three major victories in the main draw of the Ozzy Open.
"I came back to Spain after six months and I was robbed again, so I would like to share the story and ask for advice from people who may have been in a similar situation. I want an explanation of how this is possible - someone was spending money and "took off" 10.000 euros from my bank account. The card was with me all the time, except when the maids were cleaning the hotel room," Timofeeva announced and added:
"Purchases made in Spain and Madrid, they ask for a verification code and it goes to my mobile number. But it didn't happen! The circumstances are crazy and I don't know how this could happen so please share and be very careful in Spain because it happens to us all the time in this country," concluded Timofeeva.
