Vesnina thinks Rublev will soon be able to win the Grand Slam tournament

Andrew Rublev could play better in the US Open quarter-finals against Francis Tiafoe, but he will draw conclusions and can win the Grand Slam tournament soon, Olympic doubles champion Elena told . Vesnin .

Previously, Rublev lost in the quarterfinals of the US Open to American Francis Tiafoe (6:7 (3:7), 6:7 (0:7), 4:6). For the sixth time in his career, the Russian tennis player could not cross this barrier during the Grand Slam tournaments.

– Apparently, Andrei is not ready to reach the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournament yet. He’s missing something. At times – stability, at others – confidence. Everything comes with experience. But I think that soon he will not only be able to reach the semi-finals, but also win the Grand Slam tournament.

Andrei’s loss to Francis Tiafoe was very offensive. Two games were lost in tie-breaks. All tennis players know that a tie-break is a kind of lottery. It’s a shame that Andrei lost the first tie-break, I think he was the key to the game. If Rublev had won the first set, he could have fought differently on the court in the future.

Could Andrei play better? Yeah, because in this match he didn’t pull off the things that usually work very well. Rublev didn’t get his signature shot to the right, and he moved around the court a little less well than usual. But Tiafoe also played very well! He had an amazing game – smooth, stable, he had a great first serve – better than Andrey. She just dropped Rublev in the tie-breaks. Tiafoe was helped by native walls – the whole stadium was rooted for him. Before that, he stopped Nadal and is now on the rise.

It was a very difficult match psychologically. But Andrei will draw conclusions and be ready for the next game, Vesnina told .
