Presenter and commentator at Dmitry Guberniev said that tennis players Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider, who reached the Olympic final, did well to go to Paris.
In the semifinals, Andreeva and Schneider defeated the Spaniards Cristina Buksha and Sara Sorribes-Tormo (8th seed) with a score of 6:1, 6:2. The meeting lasted 1 hour 14 minutes. Thus, Russian tennis players participating in the Olympic Games in neutral status were guaranteed at least silver.
— A huge event for our country. It cannot be underestimated. Because this medal is like a guiding star for all of us. At least silver is already good, but I hope the girls will compete for the victory.
It is important for our children. Sport must have guidelines. And it is great that such guidelines appear. Even in such a difficult environment, our tennis players prove that they are among the best in the world. Not everyone succeeded, but the girls did. I am happy, I am happy.
Congratulations on winning the semi-finals, but there is still a final to come. I am sure they will come together and fight. But no matter what the result is, it is already great. This is our medal. We deserve it. The whole world knows that the girls are Russian. Let’s go – bravo. And they will come back with awards. Hooray! – Guberniev told .
In the final, Andreeva and Schneider will face the Italians Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini (3) on Sunday.
