Rublev and Khachanov caught courage in a pair at a tournament in Madrid, Selivanenko believes
Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation Alexei Selivanenko believes that Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev will want to repeat their success after winning the Masters series tournament in Madrid in doubles.
In the final match, Khachanov and Rublev outplayed India’s Rohan Bopanna and Australian Matthew Ebden – 6:3, 3:6, 10:3.
– Doesn’t it seem that right now this couple has reached the peak of form? Performances in doubles have their own specifics. Leading players, as a rule, agree to play in a specific list of tournaments. Andrey and Karen have now felt the taste of victory in a big tournament, I think they will want to repeat this experience. As for the peak of form, I would say that here they caught courage in pairs, this was especially evident at the decisive tie-break in the final, Selivanenko told Vprognoze.ru.
Rublev won his fourth career doubles title, Khachanov his first.
