Two-time Grand Slam winner in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky told that the Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina showed a decent result at the WTA 500 tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
On Sunday, Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina won the WTA 500 tournament in Abu Dhabi. In the final match, Rybakina, who received the first seed, defeated Kasatkina (7) with a score of 6:1, 6:4. The athletes spent 1 hour and 7 minutes on the field.
— Playing the final is in my opinion a good result for Kasatkina. Rybakina was more powerful today, hence the result.
— What did Kasatkina lack to win?
— There are tennis players who play fast and hard, Daria has a different style, she moves better than many, drags the game and gains position. There are tennis players who serve more powerfully, and that is Rybakina. Therefore, I would not talk about what Kasatkina lacked to win, they just have different styles.
Rybakina was initially the favorite and for many, expectations were justified. If she had not served so well and made a few more mistakes, then Kasatkina would have had a chance to win,” Olkhovsky told .
Rybakina, a native of Moscow, won the seventh WTA title of her career. The athlete ranks fifth in the world rankings. Kasatkina has six victories in WTA tournaments, the Russian occupies the 14th position in the ranking.
