Sport tipster Khachanov on Tsitsipas`s early break in the 4th set: It will sound like a funny excuse, but the shadow was very annoying, I didn`t see the ball at all
Karen Khachanov commented on the defeat by Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semi-finals of the Australian Open - 6:7 (2), 4:6, 7:6 (6), 3:6. After the match, he spoke with correspondent Maxim Yanchevsky. - Stefanos has a very large arsenal, and he varies his game a lot - he cuts, twists, then he can play flat on the forehand. There were probably moments on the second serve when I lost games. I knew that he would step back, spin and move me away - I didn`t handle those balls so well today. As soon as at some point I began to be the first to develop an attack and try more to play upward, I caught this rhythm, the pattern of the game changed, I began to put pressure on him and in some places even forced him to make mistakes.
- He took a break, which, in principle, was logical on his part after such a lost set. And my adrenaline surged. I know how to motivate myself, what messages to address, and I`m working on it more and more. It will probably sound like a funny excuse, but this shadow is in a game predictions by sport prediction types I lost on my serve, when I didn`t see the ball at all. This really bothered me and distracted me; it turned out that some balls made me unable to concentrate. There was an early break, and after that he served very well in all his games.
- In any case, this is a successful tournament, but you always want more. We take the positive aspects, how we played, what victories we had. Always at the beginning of the year you want to get into the rhythm of the game, the matches, so that after a pause you can start building the game. Glad I did it. Today was also a good match. It`s not always a good match when you win, and it`s not always a bad match when you lose.
