Olympic medal trumps Roland Garros final, says Pavlyuchenkova

Russian tennis player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova said that the gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics was more precious to him than the participation in the French Open final.

– Cars with sirens accompanied me to the Roland Garros final, even the bus driver knew who I was. It seemed to me that there was nothing cooler than the final, I dreamed of it all my life. I really wanted to win the Slam, but regardless of the outcome, it was a very cool moment.

However, if in Paris I was alone, in Tokyo we were two. When we won gold, the emotions were twice as high. In addition, we were welcomed much cooler than after Roland Garros. Probably, the Olympic medal wins,” Pavlyuchenkova said in an interview with Sport24.

At the 2020 Olympics, Pavlyuchenkova, along with Andrei Rublev, won gold in doubles, beating compatriots Elena Vesnina and Aslan Karatsev in the final.

In the final of Roland Garros in 2021, the Russian lost to the Czech Barbora Kreychikova.
