– She loses to the second racket in the world after a big game and there are people with an IQ of 60 who laugh at her. Although it’s crazy.

– Congratulations to Varvara for this match against one of the best tennis players in the world… This suggests future victories…

– Gracheva is a more interesting player than I thought. Unlike many players, she can do more than swing her racquet mindlessly. By the end of the year, she could well enter the top 20.

u-35H0WM:

– Definitely, it’s a very useful match for all his future career… Hard work and good coaches will make progress. It’s good for the Fed Cup.

– It’s a shame that Varvara lost the second set when she won her serve quite easily in the second set. But a very encouraging match for the future, we hope for a good tour in America.

Ludoviet:

– Barbara showed great promise, good psychology, she is developing fast and well.

Patsports:

– Do not be ashamed of this match which should leave him the taste of a promising career. She still has the opportunity to improve her serve by slightly modifying the beginning of the swing. But otherwise everything is in order.
