Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Alexei Selivanenko believes that the first matches of the Russian tennis player Karena Khachanova at the Australian Open, he was successful in both result and quality of play.
Khachanov beat Japan’s Yoshito Nishioka in the fourth round with the score 6:0, 6:0, 7:6 (7:4).
“Karen in Melbourne was successful in the first games both in terms of result and quality of play,” Selivanenko told . – Today’s match, although it looks quite easy in terms of scoring, but in the third set, Nishioka returned to the game after failing the first two games. Karen did a good job, played very well and didn’t let the match drag on by finishing it in three sets.
Khachanov will face Sebastian Korda in the quarter-finals.
– The quarter-final of the Grand Slam tournament is always significant for any player. Karen and Sebastian have had a great start to the year. It will be very interesting to see their confrontation.
– According to the grid, the final Rublev – Khachanov is possible.
– The chances of all players remaining in the squad to reach the final are always the same – either they will or they won’t. Making tennis predictions is an extremely thankless task.
Korda and Khachanov are the first pair of quarter-finalists in the current Australian Open. The 26-year-old Russian has never made it past the third round of an Australian Grand Slam before.
For Khachanov, this performance at the Australian Open is the best of his career – previously, the Russian had never passed the third round of the Australian Grand Slam tournament.
