Pivovarova: “Playing with Djokovic is like fighting the Terminator”

Former junior world No. 2 Anastasia Pivovarova believes that Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov was able to impose a decent fight on Serb Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros, but he needs to be improved psychologically.

Khachanov lost to Djokovic on Tuesday with a score of 6:4, 6:7 (0:7), 2:6, 4:6 in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros.

– Playing against Djokovic is like resisting the Terminator. Especially when before that you played almost every match in four or five sets. But Karen, in any case, well done, that he reached the top 8 Roland Garros and was able to impose a decent fight on Novak.

In the future, we expect serious results from Khachanov. He can show more, I’m sure. He is still a little short of victories, to the finals of tournaments. Karen needs to work on himself and understand what else needs to be added – most likely, in psychological terms.

He needs to catch confidence, as it was with Andrei Rublev. He also lacked a little before. Now he and Daniil Medvedev have broken themselves psychologically on unpaved surfaces and began to show super results,” Pivovarova told Gazeta.Ru.

Khachanov last year reached the semi-finals of the US Open, in January, the Russian stopped one step away from the final of the Australian Open.
