“Nothing happened to Kasatkina. She always played like this ”- Tarpishchev about the defeat from Gracheva at the Australian Open
President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Shamil Tarpishchev explained the defeat of Russian Daria Kasatkina from compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the first round match of the first round of the Australian Open.
The meeting ended with the score 6:1, 6:1 in favor of Gracheva.
– Nothing happened to Kasatkina. She always played like that. The fact is that it is harder to play against your own. Gracheva really plays already at a fairly solid level. And the one who should win is more nervous than the one who is eager to win. Because the defeat of Varvara psychologically did not threaten anything. Kasatkina, on the other hand, felt obliged to win and played below her capabilities. Daria was more nervous. And the result is obvious – Gracheva won, – Sport24 quotes Tarpishchev.
