“Korneeva is now the strongest junior in the world. Her results speak of superiority over her peers “- Vesnina
Three-time Grand Slam winner in doubles Elena Vesnina called Russian tennis player Alina Korneeva the strongest junior in the world at the moment.
On Saturday, Korneeva won the final of the French Open among juniors over the representative of Peru, Lusiana Pérez-Alarcón, with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 6:3.
– Congratulations to Alina on the victory! This is a good achievement. She’s a big guy! Now she is the strongest junior in the world. Two victories at the Grand Slam tournament speak volumes: a stable result and superiority over their peers.
Junior tennis and adult are two different things. But it will give her a lot of experience. The main thing is to keep working and slowly start playing adult tennis,” Vesnina told Sport24.
Korneeva is ranked 331st in the WTA rankings. On account of the 15-year-old Russian woman, two titles in ITF tournaments, she also won the junior Australian Open.
