Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Alexei Selivanenko, in a conversation with , called the match in the third round of the Australian Open between the Russian Karenm Khachanov and american Francis Tiafoe rivalry between two different approaches to the game.
In the second round, Khachanov (18th seed) beat Australian Jason Kubler 6:4, 5:7, 6:4, 6:2. The opponents spent just under three hours on the pitch.
— Karen had a good match against an opponent playing at home in front of her home crowd. I think there are no weak opponents here. The game was full of long rallies, one of which was 70 shots, perhaps the longest in recent tournaments. There are no weak opponents here, but Karen played with discipline and led the game to victory.
– In the third round, Khachanov plays against Tiafoe, what are the prospects?
– Tiafoe attracts attention, he is brilliant, his fans love him, everyone notices the form in which he plays. Tiafoe – improvisation, on the other hand – Karen’s discipline. There will be an interesting rivalry in terms of two different approaches
