Two-time Grand Slam mixed doubles winner Andrei Olkhovsky believes Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev was a bit constrained in the first two sets of his US Open second-round match against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
The match took place on Wednesday and ended with Rublev’s victory with a score of 4:6, 5:7, 6:1, 6:2, 6:2. The tennis players spent 4 hours and 9 minutes on the court.
— Andrey turned the tide of the match thanks to his physical preparation, that is, a stable, tight and fast game. I won’t say that Andrey didn’t win the first two sets. He just took a little more risks and was a little constrained. But this is the advantage of the Grand Slam tournament, that the matches are played in five sets. Rublev is playing a good match, we know that. The whole question is a psychological state. “Playing freely, when Andrei is not constrained, he can be one of the best in the world,” Olkhovsky said at the Championship.
Rublev will face Czech Jiri Legechka in the third round of the US Open.
