The wildcard’s watershed win at the US open was swiftly overshadowed by a fatal shooting at the University of North Carolina, where he studied and his girlfriend is a student.
Rinky Hijikata has been left rocked by a deadly shooting at his girlfriend’s school just as the rising Australian tennis star was notching the biggest win of his burgeoning career.
But the wildcard’s watershed win was swiftly overshadowed by a fatal shooting at the University of North Carolina, where Hijikata spent two years. “I was pretty happy with the win today, but that’s kind of put a dampener on it, to be honest,” Hijikata said.“First and foremost, I want to send my thoughts and prayers to everyone back in Chapel Hill because that’s not something you want to see what’s happened. There is a lot bigger than my tennis match here today.
