Former world number nine in singles, winner of seven ATP titles Andrei Chesnokov commented on the defeat of Russian Andrei Rublev by Czech Jakub Mensik in the quarter finals of the tournament in Doha.
On Thursday, Rublev lost to Menshik, ranked 116th in the world rankings, with a score of 4:6, 6:7 (6:8).
— Let’s say, if we take the player 120th in the world, he beat Murray yesterday. Murray still played the ending of the third set rather weakly. Menshik is a good player, he moves very well around the court, despite the fact that Rublev’s sharp balls flew well in the match. He returned everything to the other side and even snapped and could add pace, Vprognoze.ru quotes Chesnokov.
