Wimbledon 1974 runner-up Olga Morozova in a conversation with a correspondent called the Russian’s phenomenal victory Romain Safiullina on the spanish Roberto Bautista-Agutom in the first round of the current tournament.
Safiullin beat the 23rd racket in the world with a score of 2: 6, 7: 6 (9: 7), 6: 7 (4: 7), 6: 4, 7: 5 and qualified for the second round of the Wibledon Tournament. The meeting lasted a little over 4 hours.
– Of course, Safiullin’s victory is absolutely phenomenal. Against him was a player who has played here several times and feels good here. You have to keep in mind that these are only the first days of Wimbledon, as well as difficult weather conditions. It could affect the opponent. However, it remains a remarkable win for Roman. It is enough to congratulate him and to hope that this victorious momentum will remain with him. But Safiullin needs to take this calmly and move on.
Wimbledon is a tough tournament to immediately stabilize your game. Yet most tennis players play better on hard. Still, many say you can do a lot at Wimbledon, especially if you serve well. Still, all the players are still getting used to the grass surface of this tournament for a long time. The exception is Djokovic and Murray. They know every blade of grass here. For the rest, everything is possible. You can beat anyone and give in to anyone,” Morozova told .
Safiullin is 92nd in the ATP rankings. In the second round, the Russian will play with Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
