Former world number nine Andrei Chesnokov cited the reasons for the defeat of Russian tennis player Andrei Rubleva of the Czech Jakub Mensik in the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 tournament in Doha.
The Russian, seeded number one, lost to the 116th racket in the world with a score of 4:6, 6:7 (6:8). The meeting lasted 1 hour 36 minutes.
— At 18, being close to the world top 100 is already a serious indicator of a player’s level. Menshik moves very well on the ground. He plays well at speed. Cech faced pressure from Rublev. Menchik himself reacted strongly.
In the first set, Rublev made more mistakes than usual. Andrey managed to win a match point in the second set, but then he made a mistake by hitting a forehand into an empty court. It became decisive. Rublev had previously had too easy a match against Gasquet, from whom there had been no real resistance. Gasquet had no chance of winning. There was a completely different level of resistance and Andrei himself made too many mistakes, especially at the beginning of the match, quotes RB Sport Chesnokov.
The next opponent for Menchik, 18, will be Frenchman Gaël Monfils (wild card).
