Polina Kudermetova said she wants to compete with her sister Veronica in pairs at the Olympics
Russian tennis player Polina Kudermetova hopes to pair with her sister Veronika Kudermetova at the Olympic Games, as well as hear the national anthem at the competition.
– I would very much like to compete with Veronica in a pair at the Olympics. We didn’t discuss games in Paris. There have been talks about playing together, but no date or year has been set yet. Do I follow the agenda in anticipation of news about admission to Wimbledon or the Olympics? To go there, you need to go up in the rankings. Already, probably, if I hit, then closer to the time [заявки] – then such questions will be of concern. Moreover, only the first four people from Russia according to the rating go to the Games. Will I still hear the anthem at the tournament? Of course, I think I will. In fact, an indescribable feeling when you win a tournament, the anthem plays, you are on a podium and with medals – goosebumps. Then you realize what stage of work you have done and that there will be a next tournament where you have to show yourself. It’s great, – 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).
