"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.
