2016 Olympic doubles champion Elena Vesnina notes that she was surprised by the loss Daria Kasatkina of her compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the first round of the Australian Open.
The game ended with the score 6:1, 6:1 in favor of Gracheva.
– I am incredibly surprised by the departure of Kasatkina. The first round for many tennis players is a serious psychological barrier. Unfortunately, Dasha couldn’t overcome it today. But I would like to congratulate Varya Gracheva. He is a wonderful person, simply intelligent. For her, this is a big victory. Varya is a very promising young girl. Now Kasatkina’s way on the grid is open to her, she can get a great result at this Grand Slam. We will continue to encourage and support Varia, – quotes the words of Vesnina “Championship”.
Gracheva’s next opponent will be Italy’s Lucrezia Stefanini.
