Famous former Russian tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky spoke about Andrei Rublev’s humiliating defeat against Italian Lorenzo Sonego in the third round match of the French Open. The Russian player was ahead in the sets with a score of 2-0, but lost three matches in a row and was eliminated – 7:5, 6:0, 3:6, 6:7 (5-7), 3:6 .
“Perhaps a little Andryukha will be chained when victory approaches. It’s a very important tournament, he feels it. If the ball stops flying for that long and the opponent starts to enter the court, a suitable impact point will appear for him. Rublev did not grow taller, many moments allowed Sonego to lead the game. And plus, of course, non-essential errors on the left. At 4-3, he lost his serve just by collapsing to the left. And the match point on the left… All these little things are actually playing a cruel joke, because that’s the decisive moment when you have to walk away from it. In an interview with a socialbites.ca correspondent, I thought that Andrei was a little over the top of this moment, but in some matches he still appears, ”the expert said.
In the fourth round match, Sonego will face another Russian Karen Khachanov, who defeated Australian Tanazi Kokkinakis in four sets.
