YURI KOSTYAEV’S SUCCESS

13 November, 2012 - 00:00

Antei Cup, ETA 3-4 youth category tennis tournament involving 216 players from the CIS, Austria, Bulgaria, and Latvia, ended in Kyiv.

Anastasia Kugakolova of St. Petersburg became a two-time winner, beating Aliona Bondarenko (Kryvy Rih) in the up-to-14 finals (6-4, 6-4). Playing pairs, they knew no equals in the overall standing. Likewise, Aleksei Boldyrev of Tomsk and Igor Baranov (Moscow Tennis Academy) won in the male pairs. Incidentally, Boldyrev was close to a double victory, but in the crucial singles lost to Odesa’s Yuri Kostyaev: 3-6, 6-3, 3-6. The Ukrainian player also received a special trophy as the most promising player.
