"I am greatly disappointed! The courts are half-finished. It is such a mess, to put it mildly. The courts are dirty and dusty. I have a feeling of training at a construction site," TASS quoted Kuznetsova as saying. Tennis players have little time to train.
"Only 45 minutes a day! Of course, it can be longer if there are few people. But since many courts are not finished, it is hardly possible. And we need to train two or three hours a day," said Kuznetsova, the 2004 US Open and 2009 French Open women's singles winner and three-time Federation Cup holder.
