Russian mixed – European and world champions

At the third major tournament in a row Russian mixed double Nikita Burmakin and Daria Churakova get to the finals. 

At the individual world Championships in Cervia Russians met in the final with the Champions – Brazilians Vinicius Font and Joana Cortez.The first set the Russians took at the tie break 7/6 (4), then the Brazilians took the second set 6/0. In the decisive third set, Dasha and Nikita resisted the pressure of titled opponents and won the tie break with a score of 12-10. Sensational and such an important victory in the individual world championship proved once again the power of Russian athletes in the world of beach tennis.

In doubles tournaments Nikita Burmakin paired with Italian Dennis Valmori stopped in one step from the final, losing to the “dark horses” of the championship Benussi/Chiodini. The Russian women double Daria Churakova/Irina Glimakova also was unable to reach the deciding match, losing to future champions - the Brazilians Joanna Cortez and Rafaelle Miller. It should be noted that our athletes beat the tournament's favorites - Federica Bacchetta/Sofia Cimatti (3) and Luca Cramarossa/ Matteo Marighella (1).

Prepared to the quarterfinals aggressively and confident! To keep the concentration and play every ball. Rituals will keep as a secret, but note that we always warm up good, follow the regime. Also try not to waste energy and not get distracted".

We also want to mention the game of Russian doubles Sergey Kuptsov/Nikolay Guriev, who reached the quarterfinals of the championship, but losing to the Brazilians Ferreira/Santos (3). The guys played in the championship a few outstanding matches, in the first round they managed to beat a Syrov/Tronci double 7-6(8)7-6(5), then they met with no less experienced Slovenian athletes Brinovec/Cevka, in three difficult sets 6-4 3-6 7-6(5).

In the final match of the men doubles contest met the Italians: Michele Cappelletti and Luca Carli, (2) against David Benussi and Alessio Chiodini, where, despite the stunning success of the qualifying pair, Micky and Luca won in two sets 6-3 6-2.
