Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina spoke about her opponent in the first round of Wimbledon, noting that she has yet to look into the tournament draw.
In the first round of the Wimbledon tournament, the Russian, seeded under the 11th number, will play with the American Caroline Dolhide. If Kasatkina wins, she will face match winner Jodie Burrage (Great Britain, wild card) against Cathy McNally (USA). In the semi-final of the Eastbourne tournament, the Russian tennis player beat the Italian Camila Giorgi on Friday.
Did I watch the Wimbledon net? I know the first opponent, but no further. I always advance match after match, like Vika Azarenka. She never looks at the grid. Yes, it will be a tough game. Dolhide is a very good player, who serves well. She plays a little masculine, she has a good forehand.
Every game you play is very difficult. Everyone wants to win, especially in Grand Slams. The first round is always difficult,” Kasatkina told a press conference.
Russia’s top racket also said she likes the tournament vibe in the UK.
“The atmosphere here is amazing. From the first rounds, a lot of people come to watch and support. The atmosphere in the arena is very respectful. Yes, it’s great, because people here have a culture of understanding the game, they know when to support someone when there is a tense moment in the game. They are very respectful of the players, – said Kasatkina.
In the final of the Eastbourne tournament, the Russian will play Saturday with the American Madison Keys.
