Winner of two Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky told that the Russian tennis player Ekaterina Alexandrova lost early in the singles competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics to China’s Yu Yuan due to her own mistakes.
On Sunday, in the first round, Alexandrova lost to Yu Yuan in three sets – 5:7, 7:6 (7:0), 2:6. The match lasted 2 hours 30 minutes.
– Let’s congratulate Schneider and Medvedev on their good victories. Alexandrova lost to herself and made many unforced errors. The Chinese didn’t show much on the court; Ekaterina could have won, but she made too many unforced errors.
— What are their prospects with Elena Vesnina?
— The girls did not play together, but as a team they are good. They could very well show a good game, but a lot will depend on the opponents, “Olkhovsky told .
In the next stage of the competition, the Chinese will meet the Greek Maria Sakkari, seeded 7th in the tournament.
Alexandrova will also play doubles with Elena Vesnina at the Paris Olympics.
