WTA athlete speaks up the sensitive issue 

Anastasia spoke more in detail on the issue and mentioned the fact that 40-year-old men are going across the border to protect their motherland from global tensions. She feels awful that she can sit at home and do nothing about it while the others are suffering out.

Reflecting on this subject, the 22-year-old stated, “Very sad to watch the news. It’s sad about everything. Misunderstanding, pain, worry. Everything important has suddenly become unimportant. It hurts my soul, it’s the most gnawing pain. I can’t watch this football anymore, and even more, I can’t realize that this is all in the real world.”

Moving on to tennis, Gasanova has been competing at the Grand Slam events over the past couple of years. However, she is yet to make it to the main draw of a Grand Slam event.

A breakthrough moment during the event in Abu Dhabi 

At the moment, the Russian player has achieved a career-high ranking of 121 in the world. During the previous season, she recorded her biggest win at the tournament in Abu Dhabi. 

During that tournament, she defeated former World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova. It was her first main draw event, and she managed to knock out a top 10 player during that week. When she was competing in the ITF circuit, she managed to win six singles titles. 

Nonetheless, she is yet in her early days and has time to improvise her game. Nonetheless, we wish her all the best for the upcoming events and the rest of the season.
