Athletistic / Tennis. Russian tennis player Anna Blinkova commented on her participation in the 3rd round of the Australian Open. In the 2nd round, she sensationally defeated the representative of Kazakhstan, Elena Rybakina, in three sets.

In the third set, the Russian saved six match points in the tie-break. It ended with the score 22:20.

“What helped me get to the point where there were match points even before the tie-break? If I have one word, it would be courage. It took a lot of courage. J I looked for victory, I tried to find a balance between aggressiveness and stability. I shouldn’t rush.

I think I defended a little more in the second set, so she was able to move forward and make me run. She was in attack position.
