Football predictions

Elena Vesnina considers the Rio 2016 Olympic gold to be her main achievement. - Apparently, you consider the victory in the final of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which you achieved together with Ekaterina Makarova, beating the Swiss Martina Hingis and Timea Bacsinszky in the final, as the main triumph of your career?
- Of course. The prestige of Grand Slam tennis tournaments predicted by links for football predictions cannot be questioned. But for me, the main goal in sports from the very beginning was the title of Olympic champion. Therefore, Rio gold is my main achievement. Rene Fasel presented us with medals at that time. And no words can convey my feelings at that moment.
True, I fully realized the significance of that victory only a few months after one chance acquaintance in the Perekrestok store, located not far from the Dynamo metro station. There was an elderly woman standing next to me in the checkout line. Recognizing me, she suddenly burst into tears. What`s happened? - I asked, not understanding anything. Helen, don`t worry. I`m just so glad you won! Thank you very much! - she answered, her voice trembling. Only then did I truly understand that Katya and I truly brought happiness to millions of people.
- In the 2017 Wimbledon final, you and Makarova defeated Taiwanese tennis player Zhang Haojing and Romanian Monica Niculescu in just 54 minutes - 6:0, 6:0. How did that happen?
- The men`s doubles final, which took place before our match, lasted four and a half hours. And since Wimbledon was not supposed to be played longer than until 22:30, the organizers warned us and our rivals that the finishing match would probably have to be postponed to Sunday. We had an hour left at our disposal. In such a situation, strange as it may seem, we had only one thing left to do - under no circumstances rush. The main thing is to take the first batch, and if the second is postponed, then so be it, " Katya and I decided. And this correct attitude helped us carry out the entire final with perfect concentration.
The next day, before leaving for the traditional Champions Ball, for the first time in my life I asked Roger Federer to take a photo together as a souvenir. He laughed: Will you teach me how to win finals? .
By the way, largely thanks to that victory, 11 months later we topped the world doubles ranking. This could have happened earlier, but some circumstances kept getting in the way. And then everything worked out, although I was already expecting my first child, " Vesnina said in an interview with Kommersant.
