Russian tennis player Romain Safiullin matched Italy’s Yannick Sinner in the Wimbledon quarter-finals but lacked confidence, two-time Grand Slam mixed doubles winner Andrei Olkhovsky told RB Sport.
On Tuesday, Safiullin lost to Sinner in four sets – 4:6, 6:3, 2:6, 2:6.
– First of all, I want to highlight Roman’s very successful performance in this tournament. And in this game, in my opinion, he lacked faith in his own strength a bit. In the first two sets, Safiullin matched the level of the same Sinner, there was no feeling that they were players of a different class. But there are times when a player has already achieved something, the result is already great, and it is difficult at such a time to pull even more of yourself to go further.
But those moments pass. With such a match, Roman has every chance to successfully pass the second half of the season and further improve his place in the standings,” Olkhovsky said.
Safiullin, ranked 92nd in the ATP rankings, showed his best result at Grand Slam tournaments. According to the results of the tournament, the 25-year-old Russian will become the 43rd racket in the world.
