President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev believes that Karen Khachanov and Daniel Medvedev lucky with the Australian Open 2023 draw, unlike Andrei Rublev , Aslan Karatsev and Romain Safiullina .
Rublev (5th seed) will face Austrian Dominic Thiem in the first round of the Australian Open. Medvedev (7) will face American Marcos Giron in the first round. The opponent of Khachanov (18) will be the Spaniard Bernabé Zapata-Miralles, Safiullin will play with the Australian Nick Kiryos (19), Karatsev – with the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (27).
– Khachanov has an absolutely normal draw, he can go far, Karen is among the 20 best tennis players in the world. But everything will depend on the specific situation – to reach the semi-finals, you need to maintain physical condition, it can load up to the 1/16 finals.
We play every day, it’s not football here, where they play two 45-minute halves and we can settle down. You can settle with us and you can play 5 hours, I had a game for more than nine hours, it all depends on how much load it gets from game to game. Medvedev also has a decent draw, Rublev, Karatsev and Safiullin had much worse, Tarpishchev told Metaratings.ru.
The Australian Open will be held in Melbourne from January 16-29.
