Russian woman Timofeeva decided to spend the prize for winning the WTA tournament on a bag or shoes
Russian Maria Timofeeva, who won the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tournament in Budapest, told how she would spend her prize money. It is reported by “Championship”.
The athlete, who received about 30 thousand euros for the victory, said that in tennis, as the level of the player increases, the costs increase. “But I think I can afford a new bag or a good pair of shoes,” Timofeeva said.
On July 23, the 19-year-old Russian woman defeated Ukrainian Katerina Beindl (6:3, 3:6, 6:0) in the finals in Budapest on July 23. For Timofeeva, this is the first victory in the WTA tournament in her career.
At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended Russians and Belarusians from tournaments on the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee. At the same time, the Russians continue to play in tournaments under the auspices of the WTA and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in a neutral status.
