Russian tennis player Veronika Kudermetova shared her thoughts after securing a spot in the semifinals of the doubles tournament in Rome.
Partnering with Belgium`s Elise Mertens, the duo defeated the pair of Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs in the quarterfinals with a score of 3/6, 6/2, 10:5.
Reflecting on the match, Kudermetova emphasized the nature of doubles play:
It`s not an individual discipline, everyone tries to support each other. Today we both didn`t start very well, there were many errors. Then we thought about what to do and adjusted our game, and in the decisive tie-break, luck was on our side. We showed our level, we have great experience playing together.
Their successful navigation of the quarterfinal match highlights the strength of their established partnership as they look ahead to the semifinals.
