President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Shamil Tarpishchev explained the defeat of the Russians Daria Kasatkina of her compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the opening round match of the first round of the Australian Open.
The game ended with the score 6:1, 6:1 in favor of Gracheva.
– Nothing happened to Kasatkina. She always played like that. The fact is that it is more difficult to play against yours. Gracheva is really already playing at a pretty solid level. And the one who should win is more nervous than the one who is eager to win. Because the defeat of Varvara was not psychologically threatened by anything. Kasatkina, on the other hand, felt compelled to win and played below her ability. Daria was more nervous. And the result is obvious – Gracheva won, – Sport24 quotes Tarpishchev.
