The coach of Elina Svitolina and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - Thierry Ascione, comment that the next step for the Ukrainian is to win a Grand Slam title. Svitolina also failed on Roland Garros after dropping into the third round after losing by the Romanian Mihaela Buzarnescu.
`Elina is very good at the big tournaments and now I have to play strong in tournaments via archive of tennis predictions like Roland Garros, which is different and is a step up.', Thierry Ascione told the world media. `Big things are waiting for her. Last year she was 15, and now she is the fourth in the world. He has been in the top 5 for some time now. Now I have to perform better on these tournaments. This is the next step. When it succeeds, there is no limit for it. She wins each week, winning the top three in the world quite often. Go step by step. `
`Competition is strong. There are eight tennis players who c an win the title of a Grand Slam tournament. Some have already won the Helmet. They have some advantage because they know how to do, they know the way. Elina is still one of the most persistent, but she has not won a Grand Slam tournament, but she is young, it can be improvedIt`s so good - it can all improve, and she wants to do it. `
According to Thierry Ascione, there are positive and negative aspects to having a dominant player or the scheme to be more open, as is now the case for women, where almost every week there is a different winner: `It depends on which country you are. Roger, Rafa and Serena, this is a fact, it`s incredible, we are witnessing an incredible generation, and I do not know if it`s better to know who`s going to win, this year Nadal is expected to win, butthis is not so easy. Women are more open to the scheme, but not so late. `
Thierry Ascione told a little about his five-minute academy at Roland Garros: `We built this academy four years ago with my friends in the time I played, we have excellent players, quality coaches, we do not have a lot of tennis players because we wantwe have an academy in Lyon and we will have two, I am from Lyon, I am born there, there is nothing, and I will try to do what no one has done so far. `
`Tennis has changed in physics, all tennis players are high-level athletes, not 15 years ago, and now you have to be very physically fit, but you have to work with the ball because you can not just run, the specialist added.
Thierry commented on the situation in French tennis, which does not look pink at the moment. All men`s men`s men fell off before the end of the first week of Roland Garros.
`The situation does not seem particularly good at the moment if I have to be honest, but Lucas Pouille is on the level, but it is difficult to be the first missile of France so early, it is important for him to be protected and supported by Jo (Tsonga), Gael (Monfiil), Richard (Gasquet), Simon - they play well because they are four, it`s important to understand It`s not easy to be the only one in the elite, especially in a country like France?'
