Sport prediction Khachanov about the stands who were rooting against him: I don`t like it when they don`t respect me and shout at my mistakes. But that`s their business. My job is to win, prove it and goodbye
Karen Khachanov answered whether the tiebreaker against Francis Tiafu was the most epic of his life in an interview with correspondent Maxim Yanchevsky. Khachanov bounced back from a 1:6 deficit and won in the third round of the Australian Open - 6:3, 6:4, 3:6, 7:6(9).
- There were unreal tiebreakers against Kyrgios at the US Open that year too. This is probably one of the most memorable comebacks, from 1:6, five set points. I would put it in first place as a comeback.
- I`ve always said that psychological strength lies in the fact that you don`t give up, you try, if you have the opportunity, you hang on. I didn`t give up, I told myself: I didn`t do anything wrong: he scored four goals, I didn`t make a mistake, I played the tiebreaker perfectly. I didn`t expect him to do that.
6:1, my two serves. I guess mentally I allowed myself to relax a little: If I lose, then yes, I`m preparing for the fifth. I took my two serves easily, didn`t give up, but at the same time gave myself the opportunity to fight and stay in the game, this is the most important thing. Out of 10 such tiebreakers, I would probably win one or two with such a score. Then he had two innings.
This is what tennis is all about, sports - nerves, all together.
- If there is energy, there is an atmosphere, it`s good. It`s clear that it`s always nice if they root for you, because it encourages you, it gives you courage - in any case, it`s great. But at the same time, even if they root against you, you still catch this energy. I don`t mind when people get sick, even if he is their favorite, no matter who or where.
I just don`t like it when they start disrespecting me: they shout at mistakes, at doubles, between the first and second [serves]. This is what I don`t understand. But again, everyone has their own mind, it`s their business. My job is to win, prove it and goodbye, go home.
