Former world number two among juniors Anastasia Pivovarova appreciated the victory of the Russians Veronica Kudermetova on the second number in the WTA ranking, the Polish Iga Szwiatek, in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo tournament.
The match ended with a score of 6:2, 2:6, 6:4 in favor of the Russian, this is her first career victory against the former leader of the WTA ranking Szwiatek. As a result, Kudermetova reached the final of the tournament, where she defeated American Jessica Pegula.
— Šwiętek got into the game badly, it was only at the end of the first set that she gained momentum and was able to force the fight in the second. In the third game, Veronica made an early break and held serve until the end of the match, leading her to victory.
Despite the fact that Iga is not in the best shape now and does not look like herself at all – she made 50 unforced errors and six double errors during the match – it was a worthy victory, Pivovarova told Gazeta. Ru.
For 26-year-old Kudermetova, this 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.
