Selivanenko explained Kasatkina’s major defeat in the match against Badosa
Alexei Selivanenko, Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation, member of the ITF Board of Directors, believes that the first racket of Russia, Daria Kasatkina, had a bad day when she lost to Spaniard Paula Badosa at the start of the WTA tournament in Stuttgart.
Kasatkina lost with a score of 1:6, 1:6.
– It is clear that Badosa is a very strong opponent, who is also now part of the world tennis elite. But the fact that Kasatkina lost almost without a fight was the result of several factors at once. Daria has matches in which everything works out, and there are those in which nothing works out. It was just the second time. It is hardly possible to single out any one reason for this result. It just wasn’t her day,” Selivanenko told Vprognoze.ru.
25-year-old Kasatkina, who ranks eighth in the current WTA rankings, has 8 wins and 10 losses.
