Daria Kasatkina explained why the rating is not a priority goal for her. - Yes, after that I hit the top ten again. And it was perceived completely differently. Then I didn`t understand where I got such a jerk from and how I should hold it. Now the rating is not something fundamental. It changes every week: someone gains points, someone loses them. The only thing that matters is stability and level of play. Then there will be a rating.
- This is important, but not my original goal. I`ve already had problems with the fact that I was going after the rating, and nothing good came out of it. Also, after working with a psychologist, I realized that rating is something important, but it goes next to you, it accompanies you. But you need to go for confidence, level of play, self-awareness on and off the court. If you follow a number - even if you catch it one day - then there can be big problems (smiles). I`ve already been through this.
- It`s different for everyone. Gritting my teeth, clinging to this rating, I reached the goal - and did not understand how. I didn`t know what to develop. I didn`t follow development, but numbers. Therefore, it seems to me that it is good to have unattainable goals: so that there is always something to strive for. Because you`ll never hit the ceiling. And I never set a goal for myself to become the first racket of the world - this is something that you can hit, " Kasatkina said in an interview with the Championship.
