Athletistic/Tennis. Karen Khachanov qualified for the second round of Roland-Garros after beating Constant Lestienne in the 1/64 final. The match turned out to be super dramatic.
Khachanov lost the first two sets 3:6, 1:6, but then showed his character and won – 6:2, 6:1, 6:3. The athletes spent 3 hours and 41 minutes on the field.
Here’s how tennis fans abroad reacted to Khachanov’s success:
Raysun68:
– Dramatic fracture after two sets!
Rod_Laver Slam:
– It seemed that Khachanov was afraid of noisy French fans. Hence the bad tennis in his performance at the start of the game. Nevertheless, he fought to the end, for which, of course, he must be given credit. Very interesting game!
Jovanmilic97:
– Lestienne was on fire in the first two games, then, apparently, his old injury just kicked in. This ultimately helped Khachanov.
Dazu:
– It was very lucky for Khachanov to wear his legs here.
badboy92:
– I’m pretty sure Karen will perform better in the next round. When, at the very beginning of the tournament, you experience such a shock, it usually comes in handy.
Haneul:
– I think so too. Khachanov will definitely go far in this Grand Slam tournament.
Illuminated:
– Lestienne looked incredibly cool in the first two sets, then his injury was revealed. Without that, Khachanov would have had nothing to answer him in the third part.
Big dreams:
– Lestienne “looked incredibly cool”? Come on… okay, the Frenchman played well, but Khachanov was just pathetic. The Russians should be ashamed of such a performance. Holy trauma. Without her, Constant would easily have won in three games.
sombrero loco:
– Oh, what a pity that Lestienne missed this opportunity to knock out Khachanov. It would be a great feeling, moreover, in front of the native public. But what is there … as it is, so it is.
In 2023, Karen Khachanov has so far won 20 for 10 losses.
Roland Garros started on May 28. Among the bookmakers, the main contender for victory is the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
On May 30, Russia’s first racketeer, Daniil Medvedev, will enter the fight. He will play the first round of Roland Garros with Thiago Wild. Medvedev is having an incredible season, winning 39 of his 44 games and claiming five titles. The Russian last played at the Italian Open as No. 3 in the rankings and reached the final, beating Emil Ruusuvuori, Bernabe Zapat-Miralles, Zverev, Yannick Hanfman and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
