Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov shared his expectations of the Roland Garros third round match with the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis .
In the second round, Khachanov, who received the 11th seed, defeated Moldovan Radu Albot with the score 6:3, 6:4, 6:2.
– Kokkinakis is a very cool player, we are the same age. I remember when he was the first to reach the ATP top 100. That was in 2015. For a long time he was tormented by injuries, I don’t know, physical or psychological, but since last year he finally came back to the circuit and is playing at a good level.
And Kokkinakis is always an uncomfortable opponent, at every tournament he is like a dark horse. Thanasi can unexpectedly beat many top players. Yesterday he had a very good match with Stan Wawrinka. I managed to watch the first two sets and I can say that we will have a tough fight.
Tanasi has good serve, good forehand, aggressive play. But we have to see what his physical condition will be after the match with Stan. For my part, I prepare the game and will try to show a good level of tennis, to be focused. Therefore, let’s see what this will lead to, quotes RT Khachanov.
