All the Israeli-flag-waving, Hebrew-shouting fans in the stands made Peer, who was born in Jerusalem, feel as at home as pastrami between two slices of rye bread. After feeding off the crowd support in a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Radwanska, Peer autographed a couple of tennis balls and hit them into the stands, aiming at the blue Star of David symbols on the flags in the stands that were flapping for her.
“There are so many Jewish here, so many Israelis, that I have huge support here,” Peer said. “I go on the court and I feel like I’m playing in Israel or something.”
