Russian Elina Avanesyan is having quite a week in Berlin.
She lost in qualifying to Laura Siegemund before getting a reprieve as a lucky loser.
The 20-year-old then beat compatriot Daria Kasatkina in a nail-biting three-set thriller before advancing to the quarter-finals in the German capital after another gruelling encounter, this time with Anna Blinkova.
Talking Tennis sat down with Berlin’s star of the show, who told us about her career ambitions, her lack of grass court experience, and what her Wimbledon plans are.
