Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Jourova reacted to the victory of the Russians Mirra Andreeva above Ons Jabeur of Tunisia in the second round of the Australian Open.
On Wednesday, 16-year-old Andreeva defeated the sixth racket in the world in straight sets – 6:0, 6:2. The Russian, 47th in the world tennis rankings, took less than an hour to secure her ticket for the third round of the Grand Slam tournament.
— Today, tennis is the leading sport in Russia. Tennis organizations really try to stay out of politics, for which they have respect. That is why it is now very pleasant to see our guys participate in international competitions and rejoice in their victories. Mirra Andreeva has already made fans all over the world fall in love with her. Tennis players have always mattered to our sport, and even more so today,” Zhurova said, as quoted by Sport24.
In the third round of the Australian Open, the Russian tennis player will meet with the representative of France, Diane Parry.
