MOSCOW, July 6 Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina believes that she was lucky with the schedule at Wimbledon 2023.
On Wednesday, Kasatkina beat Britain's Jody Burrage and advanced to the third round of the tournament. After each of the matches, the Russian woman had days off, while many tennis players are forced to play every day because of the rains in the UK.
«Playing in the final the week before a Grand Slam gives you confidence. It's very rewarding, but it's also physically exhausting to be on the court all week and then go to a Grand Slam and play the first day. It was a difficult test, but I coped with it. I feel good psychologically when I play: a lot of matches and competition always give confidence, «Kasatkina quotes at a press conference asapsports.com.

Before the start of Wimbledon on Saturday, Kasatkina played in the final of the WTA 500 category tournament in Eastbourne (Great Britain), where she lost to American Madison Keys.
