“Rublev has not had the best season, but he is the favorite for the final in Spain” – Olkhovsky

Two-time Grand Slam winner in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky believes that tennis player Andrei Rublev is not having the most successful season in his career, but the Russian is the favorite for the final match at the tournament in Spain.

On Saturday, Rublev defeated Austrian Dominik Thiem in the semi-final with a score of 6:4, 6:4. For victory in the tournament, the ninth racket of the world will compete with the American Sebastian Korda.

– For me, the victory over Tim was expected. Andrei began to play sharper and better tactically. He cuts more corners and moves the ball better. If he adds completion at the grid, it will be very cool.

— How would you rate the current form of Dominic Thiem?

– He reached the semi-finals, and I think that this is a good result for him. He has not had high-profile victories lately. He has not had the most successful season, so today the semi-final of the tournament is a positive result for him.

– Will Andrei be the favorite in the final against any opponent?

– Andriy is ranked higher than any possible opponent in the final, but Korda can be very dangerous. Andrew is now playing confidently and well. I think that he, of course, is the favorite of the final, – quotes the words of Olkhovsky “RB Sport”.
