Chesnokov considers Rublev one of the main favorites of Roland Garros

Former ninth racket of the world Andrei Chesnokov said that Russian Andrei Rublev is one of the main favorites for the French Open tennis championship.

Rublev, who received the seventh seed, will play with Italian Lorenzo Sonego in the third round of the tournament. The meeting will take place on Friday.

– Rublev “Roland Garros” this year is very difficult, if we talk about the matches that he has already played. And it’s not about coverage. Andrey can quickly readjust. In Monte Carlo, he won the Masters on the ground, before the Australian Open he won two tournaments on hard. He is a versatile player, which are few.

The fact is that his rivals are very well tuned for matches. This can be seen from the games with Laszlo Gyoré and Corentin Moutet. These two showed monstrous willpower and literally plowed the court, playing against him. But thanks to the fact that Rublev showed his class at key moments, he stayed here. So I can call Andrey one of the main favorites of this tournament.

Rublev reminds me of Andre Agassi, he is the same explosive player, he actively plays every shot. And many players can not cope with such pressure. You need to have fantastic legs to counter Rublev’s speed. He is a favorite not only for Roland Garros, but also for the match with Sonego, RT Chesnokov quotes.
