"Bye shoulders, wrists, elbows": Daria Kasatkina weighs in from WTA perspective on tennis ball row
WTATuesday, 17 October 2023 at 04:00
Russia’s tennis star Daria
Kasatkina believes that the change of ball can lead to injuries of players on
the court.
The ball changes have stirred a
controversy in the world of tennis where players have complained that it has affected
their overall performances.
Kasatkina was quoted in a report
recently where she stated that ball changes can have a severe impact on the
players’ shoulders, wrists and elbows.
“I remind you, there are different
courts,” she said. “I’ll open a secret, when they write that surface is hard,
it’s not always the same surface, it’s like the same, but it can be faster or
slower depending on who they bought it from, etc..
“So, each tournament can have
different surface, for example, now in Tokyo was very fast. How it will be in
Beijing now, I already don’t remember, will see, maybe changed something.
“Of course, different ball, in
this series of tournaments, out of the four tournaments that I will play, 4
different balls. Say bye to your shoulders, wrists, elbows, and most
importantly, mentality. Let’s go.”
Kasatkina recently took part in
the China Open where she was knocked out of the competition in the semifinal
after losing to Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets with a
score of 6-3, 6-0.
