Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov showed a very high level of play in the Roland Garros quarter-final match against the Serb Novak Djokovic said “” pundit and commentator Anna Dmitrieva.
Khachanov lost to Djokovic on Tuesday 6:4, 6:7 (0:7), 2:6, 4:6 in the French Open quarter-finals.
– Karen played the first two sets at a very high level, very powerful, which he does not always succeed. Khachanov played varied and surprisingly subtle for himself. I think he showed great tennis, with which he deserves to claim the highest positions.
The tie-break proved to be the turning point of the match. Maybe Khachanov let the thread of the game out of his hands for a while, but that was enough for Novak. The defeat in a dry tie-break broke Karen psychologically, in any case destabilized him for a moment. This immediately predetermined the continuation of the match. Djokovic took the lead, felt calm, even though he was in a cramped position before. It was felt that at the start of the match, it was difficult for him to find an option to win.
The last set was tough for two. Karen was clearly pushing herself to the limit, but her body was unruly. But Djokovic also had student errors.
Karen plays well in Grand Slam tournaments, although she can’t overtake Djokovic in any way and beats him all the time. It can be seen that Khachanov changed his style of play and came to active hard tennis which helps him achieve good results, Dmitrieva told .
Khachanov reached the semi-finals of the US Open last year, in January the Russian stopped one step away from the final of the Australian Open.
