Former Russian tennis player, winner of two Grand Slam mixed doubles tournaments, Andrei Olkhovsky, told RB Sport that the Serbian Novak Djokovic quickly took the initiative from the Russian Karena Khachanova in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros.
Khachanov lost to Djokovic on Tuesday with a score of 6:4, 6:7 (0:7), 2:6, 4:6.
Karen played well in the first set and a half. Then Djokovic was able to take the initiative, and we saw the Djokovic we are used to. As usual, Novak continues the decisive stages of the Grand Slam. He is picking up shape as the tournament progresses.
In the middle of the match, Karen stopped playing as quickly as he had at the very beginning. Djokovic took the initiative precisely in a hurry. Novak began to play more powerfully, faster. Djokovic forced Karen to move. At the end of the game, it looked like Khachanov was very tired,” Olkhovsky said.
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.
