ANDY SLASHNIN UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES TO ALEKSANDR DANILOV AT THE STADIUM TOUR...

What Happened?

In the first round of the 1/8 finals of the St. Petersburg Open, which was held at the stadium, the Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev unexpectedly lost to the qualifier, Alexander Danilov, with a score of 4/6, 6/3, 3/6. This is a sensation, since the St. Petersburg resident has long been among the top 10 players in the world, and his opponent is only 120th in the ATP rankings, meaning he entered the competition through qualification.

What Went Wrong?

Experts believe that Rublev underestimated his opponent. He is a young and ambitious tennis player who has been actively progressing recently. In addition, Danilov studied the game of the favorite and used his weak points.

What's Next?

Despite the loss in St. Petersburg, Rublev still remains one of the strongest tennis players in the world. He will have a chance to prove it at the upcoming tournaments.
