General Manager of the “Trophée de Palmyre Nord” tennis tournament Alexander Medvedev expressed pride in the performance of Russians Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider at the Olympic Games.
Andreeva and Schneider became Olympic silver medalists in doubles, losing in the final to Italians Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini – 6:2, 1:6, 7:10.
— Of course, I watched the match. It’s a shame that the girls gave up. Tiebreakers are always very difficult to play. Many people usually say that the tiebreaker is a lottery, but of course that’s not entirely true. Three points were not enough for the title.
But we must still be proud of the girls. They had never played as a pair before and they were facing rivals who had been playing together for decades. Errani came to us and played in St. Petersburg.
It will be very interesting to see how fate will lead these girls. We will hold the next tournament in St. Petersburg in late November – early December. “We will invite our guests soon,” the correspondent reports on Alexander Medvedev’s words.
The Paris Olympics will end on August 11.
