Every athlete must show the absolute maximum on the court to beat the Italian tennis player Yannick Sinnera but Russian Andrei Rublev did not succeed, Alexey Selivanenko, vice-president of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF), told .
Rublev, who received the fifth seed, lost in the quarterfinals to Italian Jannik Sinner (4) with a score of 4:6, 6:7 (5:7), 3:6. The meeting lasted 2 hours 39 minutes.
— Yannick played another great match. Played at the highest tempo. He didn’t lose a single set in Australia. Therefore, to beat Sinner, the opponent must play at their absolute maximum, which was not possible today. Yannick once again played superbly.
Crucial moment? Of course, we can say that if Andrey had not lost the match 1:5 in the tiebreaker in the second set, everything would have happened differently. It was an important moment. But sport has no subjunctive mood. I just have to say that Yannick played superbly. Today Andrey was not enough to resist Sinner,” Selivanenko told .
The Russian has never reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament, and for Rublev, 26, it was his 10th quarter-final defeat.
Sinner is 22 years old. The Italian will compete with world number one, Serbian Novak Djokovic, to reach the final of the Australian Open.
