Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon, in a conversation with a correspondent, said that in times of pressure on Russia, victories such as Veronica Kudermetova on the polka Igoy Swiatek at the Tokyo tournament are particularly important.
In the quarterfinals of the Tokyo tournament, Kudermetova defeated world number 2 Schwiatek with a score of 6:2, 2:6, 6:4. For the 26-year-old Russian, this is the first victory of her career against a Polish player; the head-to-head score was 4-1 in favor of Szwiatek.
“I didn’t expect such a result, but I would like to congratulate her.” It’s a great victory, Veronica has had good results in professional women’s tennis recently. If she beats Swiatek, she can win the entire tournament. The level of play has long since increased. Today, when Russia is under pressure, such victories are welcome,” Kamelzon told .
In the semifinals of the tournament, Kudermetova, ranked 19th in the world rankings, will face her compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
