Tatiana Timkovskaya, the mother of Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina, has responded to criticism directed at her daughter for changing her sports citizenship.
Last week, Kasatkina announced that she would represent Australia in the Tour.
“Criticism towards Dasha and me? I don`t read comments, so I`m not aware of what the issue is. Why should we respond to people whose opinions weren`t even asked for?” said the tennis player`s mother.
Daria Kasatkina commented on her move to represent Australia: “Honestly, considering everything happening in my former country, I didn`t have much of a choice.”
