Athletistic/Tennis. Andrei Chesnokov, former world number nine singles tennis player and winner of seven ATP titles, shared his opinion on the main favorites for the WTA-1000 women’s tournament in Indian Wells, USA.

“Among the favorites of the women’s category we can highlight Swiatek, Sabalenka and Gauff, then all the others. I also really like the game of Zheng Qingwen. She demonstrates more and more confident and high-quality tennis with each new tournament.

However, in such competitions there is always room for surprises. Someone can suddenly become aware of their abilities, which can lead to surprises,” Chesnokov commented in an interview with Vprognoze.ru.

Russian participants include Daria Kasatkina, Lyudmila Samsonova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Veronika Kudermetova, Anna Kalinskaya, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Anastasia Potapova, Mirra.
