Two-time Grand Slam winner in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky believes that there is a possibility of a Russian final at the WTA 500 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
On Saturday, Lyudmila Samsonova will face the representative of Kazakhstan in the semi-finals Elena Rybakina , Daria Kasatkina I will meet a Brazilian Béatriz Haddad-Maya .
— It is possible that we will see the Russian final in Abu Dhabi. Both Samsonova and Kasatkina have chances. We can hope that they will play for the title between them.
Rybakina suffered a disappointing defeat at the Australian Open. Samsonova also played poorly there. But now both are playing good tennis. And Lyudmila looks confident in her acting. Therefore, I do not undertake to predict the outcome of their fight,” Olkhovsky said, as quoted by Vprognoze.ru.
