Former world number nine Andrei Chesnokov gave the reasons for the Russian’s defeat Karena Khachanova in the second round of the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai.
Khachanov lost to the Czech Jiri Legeczke with a score of 7:6 (8:6), 6:7 (5:7), 4:6.
– It’s a shame that Khachanov lost today. He had several match points in the second set. Moreover, earlier in the same set he lost with a break, but managed to turn everything around in his favor. In the third set, Karen failed to hold her serve.
I think he just ran out of gas. After his victory in Doha, we felt that Khachanov lacked freshness. Well, Legechka, in turn, played amazingly,” Chesnokov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
In the quarter-finals, Legechka will face Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik.
