Athletistic / Tennis. Russian tennis player Ekaterina Alexandrova (16th in the world ranking) shared her emotions after beating the fifth racket in the world, American Jessica Pegula, in the quarter-finals of the WTA-1000 tournament in Miami (USA). The match ended after three sets with a score of 3:6, 6:4, 6:4 in favor of the Russian representative.
“Today it was very difficult for me because Pegula played amazing. In the third set there were sometimes games where I just couldn’t figure out how to get the ball back, but it was coming back always in my half of the field.
I tried to earn every point, like I knew Jessica would be everywhere, so I had to do something. As a result, I tried to wait and take advantage of all the opportunities that came my way,” Alexandrova said, as quoted by the WTA tour press service.
In the semi-final of the thousandths in Miami, Ekaterina Alexandrova will face another American, Danielle Collins (53rd racket in the world). Their match will take place on the night of March 29 and will start at 3:30 p.m. Moscow time. In the second semi-final, Kazakh Elena Rybakina will face Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
