Sport tips Davydenko on women`s tennis: Do they even know if they will hit the court or not?
Ex-third racket of the world Nikolai Davydenko spoke about working with Camilla Rakhimova at the team exhibition tournament prediction by online sport tv in St. Petersburg. Davydenko was the playing captain in the team, where Rakhimova and the Spaniard Bernabe Zapata Miralles played. For me, it was the very first experience [working] with a girl, with a player on the WTA Tour. Children or juniors are not interesting, I worked with the ATP tour, with male players, and there is a girl on the line. Girls` eyes and thoughts work differently, and tennis is completely different. I was really surprised. We, men, to play with them, need to be nailed. For example, we play a little with rotation, on a pause, and they have some kind of shooting, ping-pong, which is somehow unpleasant for us and we need to get used to it.
They spank fast and sometimes I don`t get it, do they have control of the ball at all? Do they hit the court at all, do they know they will hit or not? I have always had a task [to understand this]. When they hit, I look like this: Did she hit or not? They get in. And I don`t know what women`s tennis is when they slap the ball and hit it all the time. They say: This is how we feel, this is how we play. I`m like, Okay. When I showed my tennis, even now 40+, you can say that she could not do anything with it. I thought if I resisted, I would lose. It turns out that girls can be beaten at the age of 50 (laughs), - Davydenko said in an interview with the Game Set Max channel.
