Former junior world number two Anastasia Pivovarova explained the importance of the victory over American tennis player Sofia Kenin at the US Open for the Russian Daria Kasatkina.
Kasatkina defeated Kenin with a score of 2:6, 6:4, 6:4 in the second round match of the tournament.
– I would not compare the representatives of the United States, Sofya is a player of a higher level and has a Grand Slam title, the victory over her is very worthy, although Kenin cannot yet return to the top of the rating. Kasatkina this match will give self-confidence. Minnen is not a pleasant opponent, but still the level of Kasatkina is higher, she must go to the next round, ”Gazeta.Ru quotes Pivovarova as saying.
In the third round of the US Open, Kasatkina will face Belgian Gretje Minnen.
