Former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov admitted to ‘RB Sport’ that he was not surprised by the Russian’s defeat Andrei Rublev Serbian Novak Djokovic with a score of 1:6, 2:6, 4:6 in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
— The final score did not surprise me. I have already noticed several times that the closer Djokovic is to the title, the better he plays. His focus on the pitch was just phenomenal. Therefore, unfortunately, Andrei was unlucky today.
But Andrei can certainly bring the tournament to his trump card. The second week, the quarter-final is a great performance. Another thing is that he was a bit unlucky with the fact that he went to Djokovic at this point. Otherwise, you can always count on something, – said Kafelnikov.
Djokovic’s next opponent at the Australian Open will be 35th-ranked American Tommy Paul.
