DONSKOY OUTLASTS GERASIMOV

The Russian Evgeny Donskoy rallied to beat last year’s semifinalist Egor Gerasimov in R1 at St. Petersburg Open 2020 – 6/4, 7/6(4). In the next round Donskoy will get to play the winner of the match Stan Wawrinka (Switzerland) – Daniel Evans (Great Britain).

“It seems to me Egor hasn’t showed his best tennis today but I am happy with the way I played today”, – the tennis player said after the match on the court. – Today I managed to win thanks to my forehand and consistent serve as well as active game style. I can’t describe with words how thankful I am to the organizers who are making this tournament happen in difficult times. And thanks to the crowd who supported me well today, you gave me better motivation”.
