The Kazakh won after two hours and twenty minutes in three sets of 2:6, 7:6(3), 6:3, and there was no surprise. What did the winner Kukushkin say after the match? “I lost the first set. Hernych played very well at the beginning and I made several errors. All in all, I didn’t have a good start in the match and I had to do my best to turn it in my favour.“
What does the Kazakh think about the following matches? “I would like to meet my team colleague Aleksandr Nedovyesov. He could be my opponent in the next round. But he hasn’t played yet and we will see. As for the other players, everybody is really good here and I may only expect hard matches.“
