“Arina tried to rest and Emma was ready to play the next draw”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The 27-year-old “neutral” spoke of a difference in age with younger tennis players after the 1/16 match of WTA 1000 in Cincinnati with British Emma Raducana:
“All the time I was on the court, I thought it was called old. I said to myself, “That’s how a person feels when he gets old.” I looked at Emma, and it was full of energy, ready to play the next draw, while I was still trying to breathe. I could not believe that I was really older. We need to do something because I am getting old.
I tried to control my breath, exhale slowly, make sure that I could breathe properly. I just hoped that I would be able to stay on the court in such conditions and eventually win. ”
Sobolenko beat Radukan with a score of 7: 6 (7: 3), 4: 6, 7: 6 (7: 5) and then will come up with Jecsika Buzas Manairo.
