Earlier, Rybakina expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that being the third seed at the WTA tournament in Tokyo, she did not receive the right to skip the first round of the competition, unlike Greece’s Maria Sakkari and the Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia, who received a “goodbye to performance”.
“It’s unbearable when the rules constantly change on tour. But “performance bye” is something incomprehensible at all. In 2022, I flew from Cluj-Napoca to Guadalajara for 37 hours and arrived on the day of the match, so I had to go straight to the court. And no one gave me a ‘performance bye’. Some decisions of the WTA are completely incomprehensible to me,” Potapova said at the Championship.
