Former third racket in the world Nadezhda Petrova believes that all Russian tennis players did well at Roland Garros, except for Daniel Medvedev .
Medvedev lost in the first round to Brazilian Seibut Tyagu, who is ranked 172nd in the ATP rankings. Aslan Karatsev was knocked out in the second round by American Francis Tiafoe, Andrey Rublev lost to Italian Lorenzo Sonego in the third round, Karen Khachanov lost to Serbian Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
– In the men’s tournament “Roland Garros” there were the greatest sensations for the Russians. Too bad Daniil Medvedev left the tournament so early. He could still play and meet Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals – that would be a good game.
It’s a bit embarrassing for Andrei Rublev: everything seemed to be going so well, he started the tournament well and played well on clay. Losing a game to Lorenzo Sonego with Rublev leading 2-0 in sets is very disappointing. I don’t know what happened there. According to Andrei himself, for him this was a very unexpected and unpleasant defeat. He quickly wants to forget it and move on.
Otherwise, two Russians (Rublev and Khachanov) could meet in the fourth round. And then Novak Djokovic. This tennis player is very difficult to surpass.
But in general, the Russians did quite well in the men’s tournament, with the exception of Medvedev, of course. I would like to see it again in the network, – Petrova told Gazeta.Ru.
