Olympic champion Elena Vesnina commented on the victory of the Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev on Dane Holger Rune in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
The match ended in victory for the Russian with the score 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, 4:6, 7:6 (11:9). In the decisive tie-break, Rublev managed to come back 0:5 and also collected a double match point in the fifth set.
– Such a victory gives self-confidence, because it was won despite everything. Rublev managed his nerves, which is very commendable. We can say that Rublev is now doing something impossible. After this victory, Andrey can do something more ambitious, – Sport24 quotes Vesnina.
In the next round, Rublev will face the winner of the match Alex De Minaur (Australia) – Novak Djokovic (Serbia).
– Novak still has to overtake De Minaura, who plays good tennis, especially since he is at home, the fans will support him. But I still think Novak should win. So far, Andriy is most likely waiting for Djokovic to face him in the quarter-finals. Now the main thing for Rublev is to recover after the match with Rune, because 4 hours on the pitch is a heavy load. If the next match is with Djokovic, then you have to play 100%, – said Vesnina.
