Lyudmila KICHENOK: “The biggest achievement in my career is winning at Wimbledon”
Ukrainian tennis player Lyudmila Kichenok He commented on the mixed doubles victory of the Wimbledon tournament, where he sang a duet with Olympic champion Mate Pavic.
“Even after all these days, this incredible feeling that you are the champion of Wimbledon just doesn’t go away. Of course, that’s the main achievement in my career. I’ve won doubles victories at the Masters, but the Grand Slam is the real success, especially at Wimbledon, even in mixed doubles. Wimbledon has always been the most prestigious major for me and I’ve always wanted to win here.
Mate and I also had a good tournament in 2017. He was in great form back then, but I played well. But then it didn’t work out, so we had to win right now.
What is the difference between a mixed couple and a female couple? Of course, speed above all else – it’s hard to get a man’s serve, and it’s harder to play against them. So in general it is harder for girls than a mixed couple, ”said the Ukrainian.

Alexandra Oleynikova – Madison Keys. Prediction and announcement for the Australian Open match
They will meet in the first round of the Australian Open on January 20. Alexandra Oleynikova (WTA 90) and Madison Keys (WTA 9).
The start of the event is scheduled for 02:30 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Alexandra Oleynikova
The upcoming match is extremely important for the career of the Ukrainian football player; It will make its debut in the main draw of the Grand Slam tournaments. This success was due to a strong season in which the Ukrainian won three WTA 125 and four ITF tournaments. It is worth noting that all successes were on the field.
Oleynikova is the current winner of the tournament and will start against an overall strong opponent. The Ukrainian did not play in any other tournaments before making his debut at the Australian Open, so his current form is difficult to determine.
Madison Keys
The American athlete needs no introduction; He is ranked in the top 10 and is also the current winner of the Australian Open. Last season, Keys managed to win the first major title of his career and before that he won the title in Adelaide. Then there were still good performances, but such successes were not achieved.
Madison started this season with a tournament in Brisbane, where he beat compatriot Kessler 6:4, 6:3 and then neutral Schneider 6:7, 7:6, 7:6. In the quarter-finals, the American lost to the world’s first racket, Aryna Sabalenka, 3:6, 3:6. There was also a tournament in Adelaide where she failed to defend the title, Keys beating Czech Valentova 6:4, 6:1 and then losing to future finalist Victoria Mboko 4:6, 6:4, 2:6.
To guess
Of course, the tennis players have never met before and Keys is seen as the big favorite in the upcoming match. Judging by the bookmakers’ odds, it all comes down to the question of how much the Ukrainian will lose.
Oleynikova will have to play against a real monster of modern tennis, it is important not to get psychologically exhausted. Although everyone expects a crushing victory for the American, I bet on Alexandra’s success with a match handicap of +7.5 to 1.75, it will be difficult to fight for victory, but it is realistic to impose the fight.
