Campo CentraleIn the first round Nikita Burmakin/Sergey Kuptsov will meet with Italians Folegatti/Maldini. Nikolay Guryev/Ivan Syrov will cross their rackets with Courtois(FRA)/Guedez(VEN).

World Championship in Cervia is a great tournament with very strong participants and it is one of the main events in the world of beach tennis. This year the Russians amazed the whole world with their performance in Moscow ... Well in my opinion there's nothing surprising, ha ha ha. And the World Championship is a good chance to confirm our results.

Last year at the World Championships I played qualifications, but now we are at the main draw, and we will try our best and put a lot of balls with smash to play the championship on the high level. I am sure that all the games are going to be interesting and exciting with many surprises as well.

First of all I am happy that at this Championships we have the best support of our team. At the tournament of this level it is very important. As for the games themselves, I think the matches are going to be very interesting, emotional and physically hard. The chances of players could be equalized due to wind and heat. I'm sure this tournament is going to be sensational, and we will try to prove that we beat the best doubles in the world not just by luck!

 

ЧубароваJulia Chubarova

This is the main week of the year, the epicenter of the season. Here we have the strongest doubles from around the world. This tournament is the main purpose of the European tour for players from Brazil, Venezuela and other distant parts of the world.

I think that after the World Team Championship beach community is waiting for the performance of Russian team in Cervia. Everybody is wondering, whether our players to show good results individually or not. Compared to last year Russians have become much more competitive in my opinion. But of course it will be much more difficult to win in windy Italy than in Moscow.

Despite the fact that the World Championship in Cervia is kind of personal tournament, we still have our team spirit here. All Russian players support each other. What about me, this is my first World Championship and I want to show at every match that I am here for a reason. The coolness of the event is so hight, so we need to have time to enjoy the atmosphere of this week! At least it happens only once a year...

I hope to play well this World Championship. Last year I had a bad injury, and I tried to set my foot with hard surgery in december but I'm still feel pain and it's not easy.
But anyway with Vini I will try to do my best on courts.
