Former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic runs out of gas of her way to practice in Cincinnati and claims that no players who passed her by on the road stopped to help.
"We were driving, me and my coach and my mom and my sparring partner, and all of a sudden she was supposed to turn on the highway and then the car completely stopped," she told reporters. "Then my mom was like, Oh, this car is not working. We were like, 'What do you mean it's not working? Something is wrong with it.' We looked, and it was zero gas inside the car. I was like, 'Oh, my God. Great. I have 20 minutes before my practice session.' So me and my coach ran out to the gas station and bought that thing, that gallon that you fill up. We kind of didn't know how you open this nozzle thing and stuff like that because it never happened. But there were some players passing through and looking at us in the middle of the road, like, What is she doing up there?'"
Jankovic added that she would have stopped if she had seen one of the fellow players in similar distress. "Why not? I think it's human," she said.
