1995 Davis Cup finalist Andrey Chesnokov talked about the upcoming Wimbledon favorites among girls. Transmits words “Sport Express”.
“I would assign Ons Zhaber to the tournament favourites, alongside Sventek, Sobolenko and Rybakina. As for our girls, I don’t think any of them will take the title. It would be great if one of them could make it to the semi-finals. If it’s in the final, it’s already very good. “Chesnokov, Kudermetova, Alexandrova and even Samsonova play well on the grass, they know how to play,” he said.
Wimbledon starts on July 3 this year and runs until July 16.
