“I am insanely surprised by the departure of Kasatkina” – Vesnina about the defeat of the athlete at the Australian Open
The 2016 Olympic champion in doubles Elena Vesnina noted that she was surprised by the defeat of Daria Kasatkina from compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the first round of the Australian Open.
The meeting ended with the score 6:1, 6:1 in favor of Gracheva.
– I am insanely surprised by the departure of Kasatkina. The first round for many tennis players is a serious psychological barrier. Unfortunately, Dasha could not overcome it today. But I would like to congratulate Varya Gracheva. She is a great fellow, just smart. For her, this is a major victory. Varya is a very young promising girl. Now Kasatkina’s path on the grid is open for her, she can achieve an excellent result at this Grand Slam. We will cheer and support Varia further, – quotes the words of Vesnina “Championship”.
Gracheva’s next opponent will be Italian Lucrezia Stefanini.
