Svetlana has easily defeated the Australian Jaimee Fourlis (6:2, 6:1)  and is ready to  meet Jelena Jankovic from Serbia. She has told the journalists after the match that  would love  to take a selfie with Vladimir Putin because, as she said  Russia is respected around the world thanks to its president. Also she admitted that was hard to  play at a stadium which supports the opponent, the compatriot.

The talented Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov was defeated by the American Jack Sock ( 3:6, 4:6, 4:6). He thinks that it was aslo to do with the conditions on court  with a lot of reflections from the sun. Nevertheless, he admitted to the purpose to achieve a title of number one racket of the world

 And Russian Andrey Rublyov could do nothing with the champion Andy Murray who won easily 6:3, 6:0, 6:2. It did hurt, but of course the valuable experience was gained
