— She (Marieenko) told us during the tournament in Australia that we had to team up as a duo. Anna played with different partners and I also had agreements. But then we played at the WTA 125 tournament in Italy. From that point on, we said, “Okay, maybe we’ll try and play for the rest of the year and see what happens.” » That’s it. Now I simply have no more words.

As for access to the final phase, we haven’t thought about it because for that we have to win every week. Our goal was just to stay in the game day after day. The Ningbo tournament will be our last tournament (among those planned). And then we’ll see if we’re the first replacements (during the final WTA tournament). Certainly, if we are the first submarines, we will go there. At first we just want to enjoy the moment. We will continue playing next year, and then we will see,” Khromacheva told the official WTA website.
