Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation Alexei Selivanenko does not consider it natural for the five best Russian tennis players to leave before the third round of the Australian Open.
Previously, the top five Russian tennis players finished the fight at the Australian Open: Daria Kasatkina, Lyudmila Samsonova, Veronika Kudermetova, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Anastasia Potapova. Mirra Andreeva, Anna Blinkova, Elina Avanesyan, Anna Kalinskaya, Maria Timofeeva and Anastasia Zakharova continue to perform at the Australian Open.
— There is no generalization here, each player has their own story, so we can only discuss each of them individually. What’s interesting about tennis is that there are constantly big stories, stories where players who weren’t well known to the general public achieve big victories. This is not their first success, yes, it is bigger than the previous one, but these are not people who came out of nowhere. A natural process occurs and in every tournament someone achieves victories that are completely unexpected for a wide audience. And why those who were higher lost, everyone has their own story,” Selivanenko was quoted as saying by Metaratings.ru.
