“The result deserves special attention” – Kafelnikov assessed Rublev’s strong-willed victory in the second round of the US Open
Olympic champion and two-time Grand Slam singles champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov believes that Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev showed willpower in his second-round match at the US Open against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
The match took place on Wednesday and ended with Rublev winning with a score of 4:6, 5:7, 6:1, 6:2, 6:2. The tennis players spent 4 hours and 9 minutes on the court.
— Rublev’s result deserves special attention. To lose the first two sets and then win the match — Andrey showed willpower. Well done. Such matches give confidence in the future. Another thing, I don’t know how energy-consuming the match was for Rublev. He gave it his all and spent enough energy already at the second round stage. I don’t know what will happen with Andrey’s physical condition, — Kafelnikov told “Championship”.
Rublev will play Czech Jiri Legecka in the third round of the US Open.
