“There is nothing wrong with Medvedev’s losses, it is important to concentrate on Wimbledon” – Olkhovsky

Former Russian tennis player, winner of two Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky told RB Sport that he sees nothing wrong with the defeat of Russian Daniil Medvedev from Spaniard Roberto Bautista-Aguta in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Halle, Germany.

— I said that the match will be difficult. Still, Daniil, in my opinion, has not yet nailed the grass surface, he plays too far behind the back line, the ball does not bounce high, which is why it is difficult. It is also important to serve very cleanly, you cannot win all the balls on the back line. Plus a little luck was on the side of the Spaniard. In decisive moments, Bautista played better.

The tournament in Hull is seen as a preparation for Wimbledon. Therefore, I do not see anything terrible in this defeat. Was there a loss to Mannarino before? Both Mannarino and Bautista are not the easiest opponents on grass. Therefore, there is nothing terrible in these losses. It is important to concentrate on Wimbledon and play well there,” Olkhovsky said.

Wimbledon 2023 will take place from 3 to 16 July.
