Women’s tennis remains a misunderstood circuit for many tennis fans. Or rather, unknown. Veronika KudermetovaNo. 30 in the world, responded to all those who criticize the WTA without ever having picked up a racket.
And it is important to highlight this concept because year after year it is repeated: people criticizing the women’s circuit without ever having seen a match. First of ‘brother-in-law’, come on. Veronika Kudermetova had to shortcut this question in a recent interview with the Russian media Starealthough it must be admitted that she was quite brave to get out of it. In addition, he also commented on the situation that the current ATP circuit is experiencing and highlighted how difficult it is to build a champion mentality.
Responses to certain criticisms of the women’s circuit
“I’m very calm about this issue. A lot of nonsense is said as a rule, although most of them are armchair critics who have no idea. A person who respects himself will never devalue the work of an athlete, because he understands how much work each representative of the women’s circuit puts in to reach the top or the final of a Grand Slam. If you think this is easy, go out on the court and try to play a set.”
Can a man beat a woman?
“The level of play of men is much higher than that of women, they are physically stronger than us, so they can do more things than us on the court. I have no doubt that any player in the top200, even the top300 or top400, would beat a girl in the current top10.”
The champion mentality, that well-worn concept
“I have heard many things about the champion mentality. Great players talk a lot about this topic, they say that it ensures success, but you cannot instill this mentality yourself, much less in a short period of time. At best, you will be able to approach it gradually, assuming responsibility in each match, without blaming anyone for your mistakes, only yourself. You must believe that nothing is impossible for you, you can only progress when you are internally unstable.”
Alcaraz and Sinner, the owners of the men’s circuit
“Alcaraz and Sinner are at such a level right now that no one will be at their side in the coming years. Maybe someone will appear who starts to progress quickly, but there is still a lot of time. We have been seeing the same finals within men’s tennis for two years in a row, before there were at least three players who used to reach those finals. Now we are continually witnessing the same confrontation, I think it will continue for the next few years.”
