The famous Russian tennis coach Viktor Yanchuk analyzed the situation that Maria Sharapova is going through. The five-time Grand Slam winner ended her season at the US Open losing to Carla Suarez Navarro in the fourth round and she plans to start her new season at the Shenzhen Open, China.
‘Maria Sharapova is still trying to find herself, in no way she can earn confidence‘, Yanchuk said, as quoted by Championat. ‘Maria has less match rhythm as she withdrew from so many tournaments. With her talent, she can start playing at a high level and potentially beat any player.
But her matches are unpredictable.’ Commenting on Russia’s Daria Kasatkina’s potential, he added: ‘Kasatkina gets recognized enough. Everyone is afraid of her because she can make an upset.’ Sharapova will start her new season at the Shenzhen Open, she ended her season this year at the US Open.
Instead, the ATP Player Hyeon Chung will open his campaign at the Mubadala Tennis in Abu Dhabi. Speaking on the event, the South Korean said: ‘To start a season at Mubadala World Tennis Championship is very important and meaningful tournament for me as it is played on similar surface and weather conditions of Australian Open.
It is held in a great city with wonderful people and the presence of top players makes it special. I will do my best at matches so that the fans can enjoy my play.’ ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
