Former world number three Nadezhda Petrova distinct Mirra Andreeva And Elina Avanesyan Russian tennis players who played at Roland Garros this year.
16-year-old Andreeva lost to the world’s sixth-ranked American Corey Gauff in the French Open third round match – 7:6 (7:5), 1:6, 1:6. Avanesyan, who qualified for the main draw as a lucky loser, lost to world No. 43 Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic in the fourth round.
– In the women’s tournament this year, there were a lot of Russians in the main draw, which is very good.
First up, the opener for this tournament is Mirra Andreeva, who made it through qualifying and reached the third round, where she lost to Corey Gauff, but still took a set from him. And Gauff is a top ten tennis player in the world rankings.
Secondly, it was very nice to see Elina Avanesyan in the fourth round. She picked up a confident first-round win over Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic.
I think Avanesyan will enter the top 100 best tennis players in the world. It’s very good for her: she will start to participate in major tournaments without qualifying – immediately in the main draw, Petrova told Gazeta.Ru.
