Former Russian tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky, who earned more than seven million dollars during his career, commented to socialbites.ca and criticized Daria Kasatkina for her remarks that she was tired of the life of a professional tennis player.
“Let’s count – four Slams plus ten Masters – that’s 14 mandatory tournaments. With total 15. not 25. 15 tournaments is good. If we multiply this by one and a half weeks, it becomes 25 weeks. But there are 52 weeks in a year, sorry! You don’t fly every week. If you want to participate in every tournament, of course you will get tired. In my opinion, this explanation makes no sense. How? He makes good money, he travels and he says so himself… Any suggestions? Will you organize fewer tournaments? But there are those who want to play more and those who do not want to play less,” says Olkhovsky.
Kasatkina is ranked 11th in the WTA rankings and is having one of the best seasons of her career. The tennis player, who recently appeared in a joint blog with her friend, former skater Natalya Zabiyako, talked about how tired she was of constantly going to tournaments and the process of organizing these trips.
