Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Vice President Alexei Selivanenko told that Russian tennis players Lyudmila Samsonova And Vera Zvonareva had a very good season.
In 2023, Samsonova lost in the final of the WTA‑1000 singles tournaments in Beijing and Montreal, Lyudmila won the thousandth event in Dubai in a pair with Veronika Kudermetova. Vera Zvonareva, along with German tennis player Laura Siegemund, won the final tournament, the WTA-500 category competition in Washington, as well as the WTA-250 tournament in Ningbo and Nanchang, China.
— Which of the Russian tennis players did you like last year?
— Luda Samsonova undoubtedly had an excellent season. Today our singles leaders are Lyuda and Dasha Kasatkina. Veronika Kudermetova had some great victories in pairs. Vera Zvonareva is a different story. She spent the season beyond all expectations. I think she hardly expected such a season from him.
The year went differently for everyone: for some it was excellent, for others it was good, for others it could have been better. You can’t calculate on average, everyone has their own story,” Selivanenko told .
Samsonova (16th), Kasatkina (18th), Kudermetova (19th) entered the top 20 of the WTA rankings at the end of 2023, Zvonareva is in 272nd place in singles, and ninth in doubles.
