Two-time Grand Slam winner in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky believes that today there are no real leaders in women’s world tennis.
Following the results of two rounds, nine Russians were eliminated from the US Open women’s draw.
— In my opinion, there is currently no absolute leader in women’s tennis. The same Schwiatek, who is the absolute favorite of the Australian Open, lost in today’s match. The fact is that everyone’s level is approximately the same. There are no consistently high scores, nor are there consistently low scores. There must be a weapon that works in all conditions. You play badly, well, but your class must be up to it.
– What is the reason for this situation?
– There was Serena and Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, who had a weapon: service. The serve in tennis is the only shot that depends only on you, not your opponent. And today, for most women, serving is simply putting the ball in play, and then the rally continues. And in a drawing, we always accept something and we always give it. Presentation is one of the main elements that should give you some kind of advantage,” Metaratings.ru quoted Olkhovsky as saying.
