Australian tennis player Arina Rodionova has stated that she
is not shocked after not being able to receive a wildcard for the upcoming
Australian Open.
The first Grand Slam of the year is set to begin in less
than 10 days where players from all over the world will showcase their talent
at the highest level. The list of the wildcards for the competition was
announced on Friday.
Rodionova, who once again did not feature in the list, wrote
a post on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — where she
expressed no surprise after being snubbed despite her impressive outing in the Brisbane
International.
“I wish I could say I am surprised but honestly. The
satisfaction of achieving it all absolutely on your own, despite all this
stuff… it is worth it. I will see you guys at AO qualies in couple of days and
I am PUMPED for this,” she wrote.
Rodionova’s journey in the Brisbane International came to an
end as she lost in the round of 16 to Russia’s Mirra Andreeva in straight sets with
a score of 6-1, 6-1. Before that, she defeated the 2020 Australian Open
champion Sofia Kenin in the round of 32 with a score of 7-5, 7-6.
