Soviet tennis player Andrei Chesnokov believes that Russian Daniil Medvedev lost to a worthy opponent in the second round of the grass tournament in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands).
In the second round match, the third racket of the world from Russia lost to the representative of France, Adrian Mannarino, who occupies the 52nd line of the world ranking, with a score of 6:4, 4:6, 2:6. The meeting lasted 2 hours.
– Playing against Mannarino on grass in the first round is very difficult. This is a player who plays very well on grass. Therefore, I do not consider this a tragedy.
Age? But if you take Mannarino on the grass, then he has a very soft stretch and he plays with flats. Such a game is suitable for winning tournaments on grass. I can say that I would not envy anyone from the top 10 who would play against Mannarino. He plays very well on grass and is very uncomfortable,” Chesnokov told Vprognoze.ru.
