Loss of Russia’s first racket Daria Kasatkina Varvara Gracheva is associated with a psychological factor, Andrey Olkhovsky, Russia’s first Australian Open and Roland Garros mixed doubles champion, told RBC Sport.
Kasatkina lost to compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the third round match of the tournament in Indian Wells (USA). For Gracheva, this is the second consecutive victory over Kasatkina. Earlier this year she was stronger in the first round of the Australian Open (6:1, 6:1).
– I do not see anything surprising in the defeat, now Daria shows tennis, which, as I said, now shines, cracks, sometimes very well, sometimes not very well, such jumps are incomprehensible. Maybe it’s due to some kind of psychological state, confidence is not enough. As for Gracheva, I wouldn’t call it a colossal result. Yes she is fine. I wouldn’t say it was a crazy feeling that she beat Kasatkina. Let’s look further,” Olkhovsky said.
