Former junior world number two Anastasia Pivovarova has explained why Russians Veronika Kudermetova, Anastasia Potapova, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Lyudmila Samsonova disappointed her the most at the 2024 Australian Open.
– Who became the main disappointment for me? I don’t even know which of our four seeds to choose (laughs). Each of them greatly surprised Kudermetov, Potapov, Alexandrov and Samsonov with their results. These four showed themselves so well that I don’t know who to choose. Each of them could go further in the group, they did not have the strongest opponents.
The failures can be attributed to the fact that the Australian Open is the first Grand Slam tournament of the year and not everyone has had time to get in shape. I hope that in the future there will be no such unpleasant surprises, ”Gazeta.Ru quotes Pivovarova.
Samsonova is ranked 15th in the WTA rankings, Kudermetova is 16th, Alexandrova is 19th and Potapova is 27th. All were eliminated in the first round of the Australian Open.
