Athletistic / Tennis. Honored coach of Russia Viktor Yanchuk shared his opinion on the semi-final of the WTA-500 tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE). In the semi-final of the competition, Russian Lyudmila Samsonova lost to Kazakh Elena Rybakina.

“Samsonova probably understands that Rybakina is a player of a higher order. Elena has higher skills than Lyudmila. It is not easy to win against Rybakina. But there was a struggle, Samsonova slipped close to Rybakina. This gives reason to say that Lyudmila is “She is making progress. She’s getting closer to the leaders of women’s tennis,” Yanchuk said, as quoted by Championship.

In the final of the tournament, Rybakina will play with another Russian, Daria Kasatkina. The final match of the tournament will begin at 16:00 Moscow time. Athletistic will broadcast the meeting live.
