Athletistic/Tennis. President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Shamil Tarpishchev highlighted the successful debut of 2020 Olympic mixed doubles champion Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the WTA-1000 tournament in Dubai (UAE).

In her first match, Pavlyuchenkova defeated the 37th racket in the world, Czech tennis player Marie Bouzkova with a score of 6:4, 6:3. Her next opponent will be her compatriot Lyudmila Samsonova.

“Pavlyuchenkova is great, her successes are worthy of praise. She has always had talent. Unfortunately, injuries hampered her career, but she put in a strong performance upon her return. It is important to monitor your physical fitness. She loves sweets, even though it’s not the best choice for her. In the absence of injuries and good physical preparation, she is able to return to the top 20,” Tarpishchev is quoted as saying by TASS.
