Russian journalists were not allowed to photograph Andreeva and Schneider with silver medals
“An incredibly disappointing loss, given that the girls looked confident in winning the first set and then, after losing the second, not only did they not give up, but there was phenomenal play in the tiebreaker on two occasions when they were so close to turning the tide… It was very disappointing to lose the gold, but the Italians were good.
We note that everyone knows that Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider are Russian girls, Russians. The whole Olympic Paris is buzzing, calling our girls Russian athletes. It is very important. The two men, who played only the fourth match together in their careers, were on a par with the brilliant Italians. This is a great success for Russian sports and tennis, “Guberniev said on Match TV.
