Three-time Grand Slam doubles winner Elena Vesnina has called Russian tennis player Alina Korneeva the strongest junior in the world right now.
On Saturday, Korneeva won the final of the French Open in juniors against the representative of Peru Lusiana Perez-Alarcon with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 6:3.
– Congratulations to Alina for the victory! It is a good achievement. He’s a big guy! She is now the strongest junior in the world. Two victories at the Grand Slam tournament speak volumes: a stable result and superiority over their peers.
Junior and adult tennis are two different things. But it will give him a lot of experience. The main thing is to keep working and slowly start playing adult tennis,” Vesnina told Sport24.
Korneeva is ranked 331st in the WTA rankings. Thanks to the 15-year-old Russian, two titles in ITF tournaments, she also won the junior Australian Open.
