Honored coach of Russia Alexander Kalivod said he was not surprised by the relegation of the Russian tennis player Karena Khachanova of the Australian Open in the fourth round.
On Sunday, Khachanov, who received the 15th seed, lost to the fourth racket in the world, Italian Jannik Sinner, with a score of 4:6, 5:7, 3:6.
— I am not very surprised by Khachanov’s departure – in principle, the balance of power here was in favor of Sinner. The Italian is progressing little by little in his development and has already become an elite player. But it is very disappointing and annoying for Karen, who cannot overcome the barrier associated with her decline, in the good sense of the word, after entering the top 10 of the ranking, ”quotes Kalivoda on RT.
Sinner’s next opponent will be another Russian Andrey Rublev, who has already defeated Australian Alex de Minaur – 6:4, 6:7 (5:7), 6:7 (4:7), 6:3, 6 :0.
