Rublev in the match with Shapovalov at the US Open, the most important thing will be to face his nerves, says Vesnina

The ninth racket of the Rublev tournament will meet the 19th seed Shapovalov on Saturday, September 3. The tennis players have met 4 times, each with two wins.

Denis is also left-handed, which will add complexity to Rublev. However, there are not many games on the circuit where you have to meet left-handers. So for a Russian, it’s a kind of challenge: you have to show your status, your level of play. It will be very difficult for him, but let’s hope he can manage his nerves first: he will just go out and enjoy tennis,” Vesnina said in an interview with .

At the start of the tournament, Rublev defeated Serbian Laszlo Jere in five sets (7: 6 (7: 5), 6: 3, 3: 6, 4: 6, 6: 4), and in the second round he was confident beat Korean Kwon Sung-Wu (6:3, 6:0, 6:4).
