LOVE 4 TENNIS player Danylo Kalenichenko has had great weekend. In one day he played at two tournaments. On Saturday, August 6, he won the singles qualifying match at STRABAG Challenger Open 2016 and immediately after he moved to Piestany to win the Futures doubles title.

Kalenichenko made it to the doubles final in Piestany together with David Pichler from Austria. They played fourth tournament together, won their third title. For Kalenichenko, it is his sixth title this year and ninth overall. “We both wanted to play Challenger in Trnava in singles, so we hoped for good weather forecast so that our matches will not have any delay. It was very rainy in Trnava on Friday night, courts were wet but luckily we finished our matches before noon, so we had time to move to Piestany to play doubles final there,” said Danylo Kalenichenhko about his busy schedule on Saturday.
“Supervisor in Trnava was very kind to us in scheduling the games early. We played the final in Piestany not before 2pm, so it was manageable. Trnava and Piestany are not far,” said LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy member.

Ukrainian tennis player had this experience from the past. “Two years ago, I had opportunity like this one, but I declined. Now I did it, because the distance was not as big between those two cities. I remember two years ago, my Romanian doubles partner Victor Vlad Cornae was successful. We played doubles semi-finals in Opava, after he played first qualifying round in Bratislava. It was about 300km but he made it,” laughed Kalenichenko.

Final qualifying round in Trnava

Kalenichenko beat Turk Ergin Kirkin 6-2, 6-0 in the first qualifying round in Trnava and on Sunday he was successful against Spaniard Juan Lizariturry 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. “It was very difficult match. He was concentrated from the beginning, played well . I was down 0:4. However in second set, he lost tempo. I started to believe in myself more and I had better length of strokes. It was more difficult for him to play lifts. Spaniards are great on clay. I tried to go to the net more and be the active one. I managed to break his resistance and his good play from the baseline,” said Kalenichenko after advancing into final qualifying round where he lost against Czech Roman Jebavy in two sets 3-6, 6-7(4).

Number of our LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy members played in Trnava at ITF EMPIRE Futures Trnava 2016. Samuel Hodor, Jakub Behun and Isa Mammetgulyyev were in the qualifying, Danylo Kalenichenko reached semi-final and won the doubles!

Despite Hodor and Mammetgulyyev were both eliminated in the final qualifying round, both entered the main draw as lucky loosers. Hodor lost against Czech Dominik Suc (4-6, 3-6) and Isa played difficult match against his colleague from the academy Danylo Kalenichenko. Isa was winning 3-0 in the first set, but Danylo did not allow any suprises and won in two sets 6-4, 6-0. “Today I have not played well, I was not used to the balls. They were heavier, I had to be closer to them and think more about my next steps in the game. I relaxed in second set and it was better from my side. I made a comeback in the first set because I started to be braver, more self-confident. I was more concentrated and did not risk as much. I made less unforced errors and this was exactly what I needed,” said Kalenichenko after the match.
Danylo and Isa are both coached by Jan Stancik in LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy. “It is always dififcult to play against someone from the same academy. I was happy on one side, but sad, because one of us had to go home. I am sometimes more nervous before such matches, although matches itself are not as tense for me.”
Kalenichenko is currently No. 685 in ATP rankings, but he still awaits his first Futures title. He made it to the semi-final in Trnava, beating Isa, Czech Jakub Filipsky and Polish Andrej Kapas before losing to winner of the tournament Corentin Denolly from France. Danylo will receive six points into the ATP rankings.

Danylo trains in LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy in Bratislava for 5 years. “I really consider it to be a very successful co-operation for both sides. We have great facilities here, lot of sparring. My arrival to the academy was bit of a coincidence. I have chosen it before of good references. I liked it so I stayed here. I got married in Slovakia, but I have Ukrainian passport,” he added.

Kalenichenko’s doubles title

After two singles semi-finals, doubles final was scheduled. Number two seeds, Danylo Kalenichenko and Filipp Kekercheni, both from Ukraine, beat Karol Beck with Artem Dubrivnyy in two sets 6-0, 6-1. Kalenichenko and Kekercheni played together only second time in their careers. “We spoke quite often about possibility to play doubles together, but I always had a different partner. I did not have one this tournament so we agreed to play together. We are in touch very often these days anyway, “ said Danylo about co-operation with Kekercheni.

For Kalenichenko, it was ninth ITF doubles title. Karol Beck spoke with Kalenichenko during the final ceremony and told him he did not have a single bad shot today. “It is possible, I did not do any easy mistakes today. Maybe I did make some bad returns, but I played well today, I felt great on the court,” concluded Kalenichenko from LOVE 4 Tennis Academy.

Ukrainian tennis player from LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy Danylo Kalenichenko (19) is ranked 1099th in the ATP rankings. He wants to move up about 600 positions and to continue reaching his great results in doubles with Adrian Partl, another player from L4T.
Recently, you have succeeded in doubles. You have won one title, you have been in finals and two semifinals. Can you name the reasons for this?
„Before the victory I have fought with Adrian Partl, I have had a very bad statistics in doubles: 0-9. But then, I have won the title with him and it was very pleasant. Then I was more relaxed on the court and from the first match with Adrian I have begun to think more about doubles. I have understood the strategy for achieving the necessary performance.
The cooperation with Adrian was random?
„It was a complete coincidence. I was with him before the training session and I asked him if we were going to try doubles together. He said, of course, let’s play. It was a bit surprise for me, because Adrian was much better player in doubles than me. I have learned a lot from him, this experience has helped me a lot. I hope we are going to continue our successful cooperation.
What was the main reason you were so successful together?
“It’s possible, that we fit together, our personal features as well as our style of play are quite compatible.  For me, it was important to find a kind of player who would not put an extreme pressure on me and who would help me to improve my game. That’s what happened.”
You are ranked 1099th in the ATP rankings in singles. You probably want to reach similarly good results in doubles. What are your plans for the next season?
“My goal for the next year is to be around the 500th position in the ATP rankings. I do not have the same plans for doubles, but after the recent successes I can see that doubles are definitely worth playing. I want to be better also in that.“
What are your strengths now?
“ Serve, volley and backhand.  These are three best parts of my tennis game.“
Will you celebrate the Orthodox Christmas, since you are from Ukraine?
„I have missed our two last Christmas at home. I was there during New Year’s Eve only. I am thinking that I‘m going to Kiev after the Catholic Christmas for at least one week. Then after New Year’s Eve I want to come back to Bratislava because I would like to prepare myself for the tournaments in January.“
Where do you live in Bratislava?
„I live in a rented accommodation just 15 minutes by walk to Academy L4T. It’s an advantage for me. My roommate is a young coach, sparring, from L4T, too.“
How are you going to spend the Catholic Christmas in Slovakia?
„We will see, I know a lot of people in Bratislava already. I have many friends here, maybe somebody will ask me to join him. And there is a possibility that my parents will visit Bratislava.“
Do you like Bratislava?
„I am a kind person who is able to adapt to anything, any situation. I am not nervous about the new environment. Bratislava is calmer city than Kiev, there are no extremes here, I like it here.“
