"No one wants to see her." A top Russian player commented on the Kazakh tennis star following the match.

— You probably weren't too thrilled to face Yulia; she's quite a tough opponent. What did you enjoy about your game today? — Honestly, no one wants to see her name in their draw (smiles). The first set went as I expected — a challenging start, a tough battle, and it was hot today, with long rallies. I'm very pleased with the victory and how I managed to turn around the first set. I was behind but made a comeback. I'm glad the match didn't turn into a marathon and that I was able to finish it in two sets, — said Kasatkina at the press conference.
