Former Russian tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov noted that Daria Kasatkina was not ready for the match against 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 don’t know why Daria lost the meeting with her compatriot. It is difficult to characterize why Kasatkina was totally unprepared. By his standards, it’s a poor performance in the first round, being the eighth racket in the world. They probably expected it to last at least until the second week.
Sport, unfortunately, is such a thing where you can’t guarantee anything. Today we can say that Varvara is stronger than Kasatkina, – Sport24 quotes Kafelnikov.
Gracheva’s next opponent will be Italy’s Lucrezia Stefanini.
