Russia (bbabo.net), - Today, two representatives of Russian tennis could acquire titles at once. But it didn't work out.

The 31st number of the rating of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Veronica Kudermetova in the final of the tournament in Melbourne lost to the ex-first racket of the world, Romanian Simone Halep - 2: 6, 3: 6. For Halep, this victory was the first since 2020. At the moment, it is ranked 20th in the world classification.

And at the tournament in Adelaide in the final, another of our compatriots, Karen Khachanov, lost to Frenchman Gael Monfils - 4: 6, 4: 6. The victory could be the first for Khachanov since 2018 at tournaments under the auspices of the Association of Professional Tennis Players (ATP), but, alas, the celebration will have to be postponed. We add that Monfils was seeded at the tournament in Adelaide under the first number, Khachanov - under the second.
