Former ninth racket in the world Andrey Chesnokov says the Russian Andrey Rublev – one of the great favorites of the French tennis championship.
Rublev, who received the seventh seed, will play with Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego in the third round of the tournament. The meeting will take place on Friday.
– Rublev “Roland Garros” this year is very difficult, if we talk about the matches he has already played. And it’s not about coverage. Andrey can quickly readjust. In Monte Carlo he won the Masters on floor, before the Australian Open he won two tournaments on hard court. He is a versatile player, of which there are few.
The fact is that his rivals are very well tuned for games. Witness the matches with Laszlo Gyoré and Corentin Moutet. These two showed monstrous willpower and literally plowed the field, playing against him. But thanks to the fact that Rublev showed his class at key times, he stayed here. So I can call Andrey one of the main favorites in this tournament.
Rublev reminds me of Andre Agassi, he’s the same explosive player, he actively plays every shot. And many players cannot cope with such pressure. You need to have fantastic legs to counter Rublev’s speed. He is a favorite not only for Roland Garros, but also for the match with Sonego, – RT quotes Chesnokov.
