Former World Junior No. 2 Anastasia Pivovarova believes that the Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov was able to impose a decent fight on the Serbs Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros, but it must be added psychologically.
Khachanov lost to Djokovic on Tuesday 6:4, 6:7 (0:7), 2:6, 4:6 in the Roland Garros quarterfinals.
– Playing against Djokovic is like resisting the Terminator. Especially when before that you played almost every match in four or five sets. But Karen, in any case, well done, that he reached the top 8 of Roland Garros and was able to impose a decent fight on Novak.
In the future, we expect serious results from Khachanov. He can show more, I’m sure. He’s still a bit short of wins, until the tournament finals. Karen needs to work on himself and figure out what else to add – most likely, in psychological terms.
He needs to regain confidence, as was the case with Andrei Rublev. It also lacked a bit of front end. Now he and Daniil Medvedev broke down psychologically on unpaved surfaces and started showing super results,” Pivovarova told Gazeta.Ru.
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.
