Chesnokov said: “What happened is terrible. If you realize that you are not able to enter the field, then it is better not to play and give the opportunity to someone other. He should have retired before the match with Rune. In my opinion, Tsitsipas is fed up with tennis, he has lost his motivation. I don’t want to judge him, but speaking of the reaction of the public who booed him , it must be said that they had the right to do so. They paid for tennis tickets, they expected to see a show, but instead they only received three matches.” “Chesnokov noted in an interview with TASS.
Recall that Tsitsipas withdrew from the match with a score of 2:1 in the first set in favor of Danish tennis player Holger Rune. Spectators booed the Greek athlete as he left the field. Polish tennis player Hubert Hurkacz will take part in the next round in his place.
