Karen, Russian tennis player Khachanov during the Roland Garros match with Slovak Josef Kovalik, he relaxed and lost concentration, which the opponent took advantage of, this opinion was expressed by the former ninth racket of the world Andrei Chesnokov on .
On Thursday, Khachanov lost to Kovalik in five sets in the second round of Roland Garros (6:4, 6:4, 4:6, 3:6, 4:6).
“I didn’t understand at all how Khachanov lost to Kovalik, or what happened to Karen. It looks like you are leading in two sets and can easily close out this match. Kovalik may have had the match of his life. To be honest, I’m really sorry that Karen was eliminated from the Roland Garros draw like this.
—You don’t think Karen just relaxed after two sets?
— Kovalik is a good player, but Khachanov is much stronger than him. After two sets, Karen relaxed a bit, you’re right, he lost his attention, and Kovalik just took advantage. Karen must have pulled herself together and reversed that Slovak comeback, because he was capable of it. Even after a while, I can’t understand how Khachanov lost this match. Yes, he made mistakes, unforced ones at that, but he still had to move on,” Chesnokov told .
In the next round, Kovalik’s opponent, ranked 145th in the ATP rankings, will be Dane Holger Rune.
