Famous Russian tennis player Nadezhda Petrova considers the theft a coincidence Daria Kasatkina and other Australian Open Russians.
Of the 14 representatives of Russia who started the fight in the tournament, only two athletes remained in the third round – Ekaterina Alexandrova and Varvara Gracheva.
– All of them have been in Australia for a long time, have played several tournaments. And in recent years at the Australian Open, the girls have shown good results. It’s not up to me to judge what went wrong: everyone should have had a good preparation for the season. Maybe that was how things were. Maybe you need to play a bit, but not in Australia, it’s the start of the season. We need to get back to training, working and preparing for the next round – in Dubai, Qatar – and connecting to win. There are also seasons well started, it happens that we lose in the first round. You shouldn’t lower your nose, you need to move on,” Petrova told Gazeta.Ru.
