Selivanenko urged not to use the word sensation in relation to Alexandrova’s victory over Shventek
Vice-President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Alexey Selivanenko does not consider Ekaterina Alexandrova’s victory over Iga Shventek at the Miami tournament a sensation.
The Russian woman, who received the 14th seed, beat the world’s first racket, Poland’s Iga Szwiatek, in the fourth round with a score of 6:4, 6:2. The meeting lasted 1 hour 24 minutes. Alexandrova’s next opponent will be American Jessica Pegula (5), who beat compatriot Emma Navarro in two games.
— It’s unlikely that any result between players in the top twenty makes sense to call a sensation every time. Katya caught her game yesterday and dominated the entire match. This is the game with which Katya can beat any opponent,” Selivanenko told Vprognoze.ru.
