Russian tennis player Alina Korneeva on the air of the program “Tous au Match!” on , she said she would do everything possible to make it to adult Grand Slams, as junior titles give little for professional career development.
On Saturday, Korneeva won the French Open junior final against Peruvian representative Lusiana Pérez-Alarcón with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 6:3. Moreover, the Russian lost in the same tournament in the doubles final.
— I travel a lot around the world, mainly in Europe. But we always come to tournaments in small towns. I was in Paris for the first time in my life. I came to Australia more for the atmosphere. It was my first helmet, my task was to see adult players and enjoy the atmosphere. Everything is very different.
I couldn’t believe that I had overcome so many difficulties, and even won the Slam. Immediately a bunch of interviews went. There was a lot of joy.
Glad, of course, won junior titles. But I understand that it will not bring me anything in terms of my professional career. And I’m looking more to try to ride on adult helmets already. If possible, I will play at Wimbledon. At the US Junior Open, probably, but I don’t think far. I’m not thinking about the career helmet either.
Idol – only Serena (Williams). I really like those who have won the Slam several times. I don’t like it when I won and disappeared somewhere,” Korneeva said on .
Korneeva is ranked 329th in the WTA rankings. Thanks to the 15-year-old Russian, two titles in ITF tournaments, she also won the junior Australian Open.
