Kalinina for the first time told why she did not play for the Ukrainian national team

Ukrainian tennis player Angelina Kalinina He talked about the possibilities of debuting in the national team.

“This issue is not closed. My health has failed several times. It’s not even about the team. Last year I pulled out of 5-6 tournaments and even had to withdraw from the US Open. And this wasn’t the first time.

I don’t want to promise something and then say, “Oh, I can’t do it anymore.” I don’t do it. If I know I won’t shoot, I will speak up ahead of time and openly.

I have no conflicts with the federation or the players. I communicate well with everyone. This has been the case for many years. I had shoulder surgery. I missed a year. Then the national team had to play and I was 1000th in the standings and went to play at 25,000. I withdrew from the US Open last year and didn’t wake up until November.

I know the girls on our team. This is a well-played, strong, well-formed team that you can try to beat again. I really think girls have been playing super smooth for years. They’re tearing everyone apart. I’m sure they will make it to the final group.

I have many plans and ambitions, but it all depends on health. Yes, it sounds cliché, but it’s true. There were so many plans for last year… But I eventually withdrew from the three Masters and the US Open. I haven’t been to Mexico or Japan. I want everything everywhere, but finally I have what I have. This is my body, my health,” said Kalinina.

Note that Kalinina lost to the Frenchwoman in the first round of Roland Garros.
