Colb: “She said goodbye to tennis several times. I am ready now, but the hawk?

Ukrainian tennis player Nadiya Kolb She posted a post on her Instagram, which shared her emotions after a paired match at the WTA tournament 250 in San Paulo, in which she played with her sister Marina:

“To win more points and lose the match 6: 7 (6), 6: 1, 8:10 against the girls from the TOP-100, who were amazed at the helmets this year, even on the other continent, even on the first hardel tournament-it is painful, but probably there is something to be proud of…

We still tolerate each other. We still quarrel, and then we put up … We support and just be nearby. Here they were replaced by squares. Spontaneously, for the first time in life. That’s how Chuika suggested. As if, this time worked more or less 🙂

Only relatives know how the straight line before the match wept that we know nothing … We know. A little, sometimes … but we can. We need to remind ourselves more often.
At the match they laughed that 4 years ago they played on a makeshift ProAM tournament on their own courts with students and could not even dream that we would play at WTA in Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Gon-Kozi, Germany, etc.

They played, they liked 🙂 The thoughts were overwhelmed, which could not be finished 24 years with professional tennis. But no, then we did not believe in ourselves. Now we do not believe it, but while there is health – we play, because there is nothing to lose. We constantly have to fight with the feeling of “impostor”. Without coaches, clubs, sponsors and go to WTA … We have to remind ourselves that we deserved: boldness, risk, playing and in the end of the rating … Which will finally be joy to some people – will start melting.

Thank you to those who support. We, our history, are our path. I thank those who at least simply do not interfere or insult with abusive words after, and more importantly, before the matches. Making painful comments, saying your own “expert” opinion and just envy – is easier than Marina on his own way to go after a difficult injury … It is definitely easier than playing and trying … Exactly easier than helping and supporting.

PS I said goodbye to tennis several times. Straight so that forever. In 16, when the difficulties began with his back, then in 24, when she chose another path and family, then at 30, because there were other plans … I am now ready to say goodbye at any time, but the hawk? He is what good photos are. And a new continent that I would never see if it wasn’t for tennis. ”
