Athletistic/Tennis. 1995 Davis Cup finalist Andrei Chesnokov expressed his impressions of Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev’s victory over Frenchman Gael Monfils in the second round of the 2023 US Open. Rublev beat his opponent 6-4, 6 -3, 3-6, 6-1.

“I was amazed at how clean and high quality Andrey played in the first two sets. Monfils is known for his ability to play against aggressive tennis players, but Rublev put on such a high pace and a intensity so wild that it was simply impossible to catch up.In the third set, Rublev made several optional errors and lost, but in the fourth he showed outstanding play again.

It is important to note that Monfils, despite the loss, shook Rublev’s hand. He is an excellent athlete who respects his rivals, which shows that sport is outside of politics,” Chesnokov was quoted as saying by TASS.

Note that the wife of Gaël Monfils is the Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina. In the 1/8 finals of the US Open, Andrey Rublev will meet Frenchman Arthur Rinderknesh, and the fight will take place on Saturday September 2.
