Serbian Novak Djokovic almost didn’t leave Andrei Rublev chances in the Australian Open quarter-final, the Russian shouldn’t be blamed for the loss, says 2016 Olympic doubles champion Elena Vesnina.
The match ended with the score 6:1, 6:2, 6:4 in favor of Djokovic.
– It would be a mistake to blame Rublev for the loss. Djokovic is too good and motivated. He almost gave Andrei no chance today. The Serb just didn’t let Rublev show his tennis. The match was completely controlled by Djokovic. There was hope that everything could change in the third set, but no. Novak first gave hope, then immediately took it away. Either way, Rublev is to be praised. Andrei performed well at the Australian Open, he just wasn’t lucky to meet Novak, Vesnina told the championship.
The next opponent of the former first racket in the world at the Australian Open will be the American Tommy Paul, who occupies the 35th place in the ranking.
