“I just think it would be a mistake to participate in the Olympics. This event requires full commitment. You have to go there with your soul and the desire to show the best of yourself. But I don’t feel it. Therefore, I don’t see any point in participating,” Tennis Channel quotes Kasatkina.
Besides Kasatkina, Andrei Rublev, Karen Khachanov, Lyudmila Samsonova, Anna Kalinskaya and Anastasia Potapova refused to participate in the competition.
