Crimean Maksim Ratnyuk is the winner of the Russian Tennis Cup

Maxim Ratnyuk won the prestigious trophy in doubles, playing with Mikhail Fufygin from Samara. This is not the first time that Ratnyuk and Fufygin have performed in pairs. Before that, they had already managed to perform at several tournaments of the All-Russian and international level. This time it was not difficult for them to pass first the preliminary tournament, and then the main draw of the Cup.

It’s not the first time we’ve played together and we know each other well. He is left-handed, I am right-handed — this gives us the opportunity to use non-standard tactics during the match. We quite successfully performed together at many major tournaments, so for us it was rather a successful consolidation of a series of our performances , — the press service of the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Crimea quotes Maxim Ratnyuk.

In singles, Ratnyuk entered the top eight, but this time he did not make it into the top three. Now Simferopol will prepare for the next starts. In the fall, he will compete at the national championship. In the meantime, a trip to Kazakhstan awaits him, where an international tournament will be held.
