Veronika Kudermetova is into the semi-finals of the
Madrid Open after seeing off Jessica Pegula 6-4, 0-6, 6-4 in a superb display from the Russian who continues to prove herself going relatively under the radar.
But she also has an interesting recipe for success with the current World No.13 speaking to Prakash Amritraj on the Tennis Channel and saying she drinks beer after matches for recovery.
"I took some beer for recovery," said Kudermetova. "I start drinking beer this week. This is the first time I've took a beer and it works really well. I'm so happy and so proud of myself that I managed this tough match."
Well it seems to work with Kudermetova into her first WTA 1000 semi-final at Caja Magica this week.
