Anastasia Pivovarova, the world’s second oldest racket among youth, criticized the organizers of the WTA tournament held in Montreal, Canada. He told socialbites.ca that the final, in which the American Jessica Pegula defeated the Russian Lyudmila Samsonova, did not go well according to the schedule and the intensity of the match hurt the athletes.
“I think the organization in this tournament was terrible. First they knocked out Elena Rybakina, who had to play until three in the morning, and she did not have time to fully recover for the match with Samsonova. And Lyudmila played in the semi-finals and had to play in the final a few hours later. The organizers had a great time. They made mistakes and missed a great final for themselves. They hurt the athletes. Of course, Pegula won the tournament, but even when you win, you understand that this victory was given to you due to certain conditions, this is not the winning feeling that every athlete desires. Lyudmila could not express herself. I think he did not give the final, ”said Pivovarova.
Pegula won with a smashing score of 6:1, 6:0. At the same time, Samsonova had to start the final match in just over two hours after defeating Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals in sets of 1:6, 6:1, 6:2. At the post-match press conference, Samsonova admitted that she asked the organizers to delay the start of the final game, but was not welcomed.
