Former world number two among juniors Anastasia Pivovarova believes that the Italian tennis player Jannik sinner will defeat the Russian Karen Khachanov in the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open.
On Friday, Khachanov defeated Czech Tomas Machac with a score of 6:4, 7:6 (7:4), 4:6, 7:6 (7:5). The Russian will face Sinner in the fourth round of the Australian Open, the match will take place on Sunday. Earlier in their career, the tennis players played three matches, two of which were won by the Italian.
— For me, Sinner is number one in this tournament. I watched with pleasure as he finished the year, how he progressed, reached a new level for himself and raised the bar of expectations as high as possible. I think he will be very dangerous at the Australian Open, and I am not sure that Karen will be able to show the level of play necessary to defeat him,” Pivovarova said, as quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
