Polina Kudermetova admitted that she wants to break the record for victories at the Grand Slam tournaments

Russian tennis player Polina Kudermetova said she wants to get into the top 10 of the WTA rankings and wants to break Serena Williams’ record for winning Grand Slam tournaments.

“I have always played tennis. I liked how the balls fly – and, like Veronica, she also went to tennis. I always wanted: what Veronica has, I should have it too. And getting into the top 10 too? I do not want to say this yet, but I strive for it. Of the maximum goals, I would like to break the record: do women have 23 Slams? I would like to win more. But the sport is progressing every year, it does not stand still. It’s hard to win so much. From real goals: to take one Grand Slam tournament at the adult level and be the first. Dream to win more Serena Williams? Yes, such a dream! But it will be very hard.

How is women’s tennis progressing? More and more players are added every year. I can judge by my year: tennis players from 2003 come, as well as from 2004, 2005. There are many generations of new players who play active tennis. And, accordingly, there is more competition in the tour. When such players meet, it turns out a hack. Such as that of Sobolenko and Rybakina. Fragments watched the match. Both play active tennis: each of them could win, – said Kudermetova “Championship”.

At the adult Australian Open 2023, Polina Kudermetova entered the main draw for the first time, having overcome three qualifying rounds. In the first round of the debut Slam, the Russian lost to the Australian Olivia Gadeki (5:7, 1:6).
