Neither, just tired mentally. We constantly play, moving from tournament to tournament and mental fatigue accumulates. And with it these tantrums happen. I can´t help myself. Plus today was a very difficult match.
Yesterday you wanted to quit in a match against Lesya Tsurenko?
Yes, but then after playing a couple of games, I decided that I can continue the fight. It was a third match here where I was in such a state. I find it very hard to step on court, I´m mentally very tired. Each match is very hard, each ball exchange is very hard. Not even physically hard, but mentally.
But somehow you must overcome this situation. US Open will be soon.
I don´t know. I even think I will withdraw from competitions in America.
Let's try to understand the causes of your fatigue. Hard court season just started, turns out you are tired from clay court tournaments?
No, my fatigue is not related to surfaces. Moreover, before Kazan I participated in several hard court tournaments.
And then she was asked about the tennis complex, about which she only had nice words to say.
According to the tournament site, Anna was crying several times during the match (sometimes after winning a point) and refused to speak at the closing ceremony.
I can't reach her from here, so a virtual hug is the best I can do. Anna . She needs to find something inside of herself that will enable her to enjoy playing again. I hope she does.
At least I expected it. I'm really glad she got to play a slam MD at least.
On the other hand Anna finally gained consistency in regular tour Main Draws and she had nothing to defend after Kazan for 3 months. I will always wonder what she could have done in those months with the right motivation.
Anna is still on the EL for Minsk & Opole, but she has withdrawn from many tournaments in the last minute lately.
