Olympic champion Elena Vesnina believes that Russian tennis Andrei Rublev there is a chance to win the Australian Open quarter-finals against the Serb Novak Djokovic .
On Monday, Rublev beat Dane Holger Rune in the fourth round with a score of 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, 4:6, 7:6 (11:9). The tennis players spent 3 hours 37 minutes on the court, the Russian lost 2:5 in the deciding set and 0:5 in the tie-break. Djokovic confidently defeated Australian Alex De Minor in his match – 6:2, 6:1, 6:2.
– I want Rublev to win. But everyone knows that Novak Djokovic is the favorite in this game. The way he played his previous match against the Australian, how easily he beat him, considering he has injuries, shows what a great tennis player he is and how he can come together at a decisive moment. I will support Andrey, he has a lot of difficulties now, he plays with the most difficult and experienced opponent, but there is a chance.
Andrey has a match, he has enough to beat Djokovic, it is important that he keeps his ground stable, Novak has the best reception on the circuit. If Andriy does not serve, it will be very difficult for him to play against him. On the back line, he is not inferior to Novak and can spread out and increase the pace with his active wide shots, as he knows how to do.
Djokovic is a smart and cunning big tennis player who knows Andrei. Novak doesn’t want to stay on the pitch for long, he wants to finish the game as soon as possible and not mess around. He understands that there is no need to stretch to five sets, because the situation will be different for young Andrey, and he will have fewer chances, Vesnina told Metaratings.ru.
