Serb Novak Djokovic almost left Andrei Rublev no chance in the quarterfinal match of the Australian Open, you should not blame the Russian for the defeat, according to the 2016 Olympic doubles champion Elena Vesnina.
The meeting ended with the score 6:1, 6:2, 6:4 in favor of Djokovic.
– It would be wrong to blame Rublev for the defeat. Djokovic is too good and motivated. He almost did not leave Andrei a chance today. The Serb simply did not let Rublev show his tennis. The match was completely controlled by Djokovic. There was hope that everything could change in the third set, but no. Novak first gave hope, and then immediately took it away. In any case, Rublev should be praised. Andrei performed well at the Australian Open, he was just unlucky to run into Novak, Vesnina told the Championship.
The next opponent of the ex-first racket of the world at the Australian Open will be the American Tommy Paul, who occupies the 35th place in the ranking.
