The Russians’ departure from the Australian Open does not speak of a systemic problem in Russian women’s tennis, two-time Grand Slam mixed doubles champion Andrey Olkhovsky told Sports Day After Day.
Of the 12 Russians in week two of the Australian Open, none came out.
– In your opinion, is the massive departure of Russian women a coincidence or the result of a systemic failure?
– There is no system problem. On the contrary, last year was very successful. There was a breakthrough after a long period of time. Two girls were in the top ten.
Yes, it happens. And more precisely at this lost Australian Open. Somewhere they played badly. Its good. The system is in order, everything is fine.
– Among the remaining athletes, who can you name AO’s favourites?
—Schwentek. The results can be completely unpredictable. And it’s hard to say something with 90% probability now, in my opinion. Only Shventek shows more or less stable results. The rest of the girls, frankly, have no stability.
