Russian tennis player Anastasia Pivovarova, the second oldest racket in the world among juniors, said in an interview with socialbites.ca that she is confident that Daria Kasatkina will reach the final stages of the tournament on the Wimbledon turf surface.
“Daria had a tough first round (Russian beat American Caroline Doulhide 6:1, 6:4 – socialbites.ca). Doulhide is comfortable on grass and can be uncomfortable. But Kasatkina confidently dealt with this opponent and I believe she can go far in the Wimbledon bracket. Daria is comfortable playing on the turf: she can act consistently in defense and break the rhythm of the opponent. The grass at Wimbledon is slow, so it’s very comfortable for Kasatkina. I believe that we can see Dasha even in the second week of Wimbledon (starting with the 1/8 final of the tournament – socialbites.ca). Therefore, I expect from him a confident victory in the second round, ”said Pivovarova.
In the second round match, Kasatkina will face Briton Jody Burrage. The game will be played on July 5th.
The Russian tennis player is the tenth racket in the world and Burrage is ranked 108th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings.
Formerly the second racket in the world stated About the “psychological failure” of Rublev’s Wimbledon rival.
