Four Russian tennis players were defeated at once in the second qualifying round of the Wimbledon tournament.
First-seeded qualifying draw Elina Avanesyan lost in straight sets to Australian Storm Hunter, losing in both sets in a tie-break.
Vera Zvonareva also lost in two games to Latvian representative Daria Semenista, Erika Andreeva lost to Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, and Diana Schneider was beaten by the world’s 370th racket Anna Brogan of Great Britain.
Thus, only the youngest of the Andreev sisters, Mirra, who confidently beat Chloe Paquet of France, will play in the final of the Russians’ Wimbledon qualifier.
