Lesya TSURENKO: “Next – Sventek. One of the biggest challenges of the tour”
Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko beat Bianca Andreescu to reach the 1/8 final at Roland Garros. Next up, Tsurenko will be the world’s first racket Iga Sventek.
“Bianca is a very dangerous opponent, the champion of the Grand Slam tournament, she knows how to play in such stages, so I was very focused before the game. I had a good game plan, so I stuck to it as much as possible and I’m happy to be able to show exactly what I want on the pitch. Of course It is very nice to play on this field, so many spectators watched this match, I want to thank everyone who came and supported me.”
“Better I just play an hour before the next game against Igi Sventek today? Yes, that’s one of the biggest challenges of the tour. He’s the world’s first racket specializing in mud, we just met and it wasn’t a very good match. I mean, he was good. But Iga is too good a player.”
“But I’m really excited to play with him, it’s a good test and a great opportunity to improve my game,” said Tsurenko.
