Russian figure skater Veronika Kudermetova told “” that she couldn’t believe her victory in the final match of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) final tournament in doubles.

Kudermetova and Belgian Elise Mertens in the final of the tournament held in the USA beat the Czech duo Barbora Kreychikova / Katerina Sinyakova (6:2, 4:6, 11:9). In the tie-break, Kudermetova and Mertens lost 2:7, but managed to win.

— Of course, it’s good to end the season on such a positive note. The final match was very nervous, but at the same time interesting. To be honest, I don’t even know how to describe it. The first set went well, the second – the girls won, showing good tennis. In the third set, the rivals were leading 7:2, and it’s hard to say how we managed to turn the tide. We just tried to fight, to do everything we could, and it worked. When the referee announced that the match was over, I couldn’t believe it inside, it was so tense. But the emotions were incredibly joyful.

When you realize it’s the last game of the season, and you’ve taken one of the pair’s biggest titles right now, that’s great.

The season ended, there were a lot of good times and not so many. Now is the time to rest a bit, then to work again, to prepare for the new season. I would like to say thank you to my team, my family, my coach, my husband Sergey and also to all the Russian fans who supported me throughout the year. I really appreciate it, “said Kudermetova on the air program” Everything for the game! on MatchTV.

This season, 25-year-old Kudermetova has won three doubles titles, including two with Mertens, one with compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The Russian rose to second place in the WTA doubles rankings.
