Alexei Selivanenko, vice-president of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF), summed up the performance of Russian athletes at the Australian Open.
On Friday, Karen Khachanov lost to Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, for the Russian it was the first Australian Open semi-final of his career and the second in a row at the Grand Slam tournaments. Earlier in the quarterfinals, Andrei Rublev lost to Novak Djokovic. And in the final of the junior girls tournament, 15-year-old Russians Mirra Andreeva and Alina Korneeva will meet.
I’m not a fan of generalizations. Every tennis player has their own story. It would be better to talk about each separately. And I prefer to mention those who have played at their level. Karen Khachanov and Andrei Rublev must be satisfied with their performance. They showed great tennis, achieved great results and received a boost of optimism for the year. Our daughters Mirra Andreeva and Alina Korneeva reached the final of the junior tournament. Their results speak for themselves. And someone was a little missing, someone was a little unlucky, someone was not in the best shape, – Vprognoze.ru quotes Selivanenko.
