Kuznetsova improvises on court and in press

The Russian explained why she's so erratic.

Published Jun 03, 2017

Svetlana Kuznestova put on an erratic performance to reach the fourth round of the French Open over Shuai Zhang, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-5 on Friday. But she was refreshingly honest about it all.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Kuznetsova had to improvise with her press room, taking it all in stride.

She would explain her on-court struggles quite eloquently:

"I have so many options I wish I had only one or two, and that's it," she said. "I am creative. I play from the heart, from my emotions. This is what makes me unstable, you see."

The 31-year-old is seeking her first Grand Slam title since winning it all in Paris eight years ago. She next faces Caroline Wozniacki, who needed three sets to oust teenager CiCi Bellis.
