Tarpischev believes the hype surrounding Kasatkina’s exit was the reason for her failure at the Toronto tournament

For an early flight Daria Kasatkina frequent discussions about his personal life influenced the tournament in Toronto, says the president of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Shamil Tarpishchev .

In mid-July, Kasatkina admitted her non-traditional sexual orientation and also confirmed that she was in a relationship with a girl. On Tuesday, Russia’s first racket in the first round of the WTA 1000 Series tournament in Toronto lost to Canadian Bianca Andreescu – 6:7 (5:7), 4:6.

– It’s a shame he’s dropped from his place in the WTA rankings, but I think he’ll come back up quickly. The mass discussions and hype surrounding her and her recent statements regarding her personal life and on citizenship may well have affected. Psychological stress. It’s also difficult to play tournament after tournament at the same time. The question of rapid adaptation. There is nothing particularly terrible. There were many strong rivals, and each shot in checkerboard. It’s not a feeling. Unexpectedly, of course, that so soon there was a chance to fight, – RBC Sport quotes the words of Tarpishchev.

Prior to the Toronto tournament, Kasatkina won the WTA 500 tournament in San Jose. Currently, the 25-year-old Russian woman is in 9th place in the world rankings.
