“Of course it would be great to play in the Olympics because an opportunity like this comes every four years. This is a very different atmosphere, a completely different tournament than the tournaments we are used to. So if I get in it will be great. If not, what can I do, I will focus on other competitions,” said Alexandrova.

On April 1, the tennis player entered the top 15 of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings for the first time in her career. She rose from 16th to 15th place.
On March 6, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced its decision to allow Russian and Belarusian tennis players to compete in neutral status at the Olympic Games in France.
