Kasatkina, “I’m far from being good for a long time, and to tell the truth, my consequences and performances show that fans are not stupid, but they can see them, Kas Kasatkina said.
“I held a lid on my emotions because I don’t want to look like I’m going to go down, weak or God, professional tennis players, or forbid that I am not appreciated.
“The truth is that I hit a wall and I cannot continue. I need a break. A break from the monotonous daily torment of life in the tour, suitcases, results, pressure, everything that comes with this life. The program is very, mentally and emotionally broken and I am not alone.”
