Davis Cup finalist 1995 former Russian tennis player Andrey Chesnokov spoke about the upcoming women’s final of the Australian Open, which will play the representative of Kazakhstan Elena Rybakina and Belarusian Arina Sobolenko.
– There is no favorite for me, the match is 50 to 50. Rybakina plays easily, psychologically calm. Sobolenko also played well in the semifinals. In the final, the one who takes the initiative in his own hands, he will have more chances to win. Both tennis players play power aggressive tennis. This tennis usually starts with a serve. Rybakina in the game with Azarenka made a lot of aces in the first set. Sobolenko breaks through almost any blow. So, I think who will be more psychologically stable, and, of course, more precisely, he will win. In the final, any nuance is important, finals can also fail if someone burned out during the game or even before it started, ”RB Sport” quotes Chesnokov as saying.
The final of Rybakin – Sobolenko will take place on Saturday, January 28. In personal meetings, the score is 3:1 in favor of Sobolenko.
