Former world number two among juniors Anastasia Pivovarova believes that the appearance of a coach Dmitri Tursunov Russians on the team Veronica Kudermetova helped the athlete find inspiration.
On Sunday, Kudermetova defeated American Jessica Pegula in the final match of the WTA tournament in Tokyo with a score of 7: 5, 6: 1.
“I am very happy that Veronica won the title and defeated difficult opponents in a tough fight. Just look at the match against Pavlyuchenkova – this battle lasted 3.5 hours! The season was very difficult for her, she did not show the results that were expected of her. I know she has an agreement with Dmitry Tursunov, he will train her. I doubt they had time to work fruitfully to say that this victory was his merit. But it definitely became a kind of inspiration for Veronica, she managed to find the right atmosphere for the whole tournament,” Gazeta.Ru quotes Pivovarova.
For 26-year-old Kudermetova, the title at tournaments under the auspices of the WTA became the second in her career – the athlete had already won the tournament in Charleston in April 2021.
