Former Russian tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky expressed the opinion that Russian tennis players are able to successfully debut at the Australian Open.
Daniil Medvedev opens the tournament with a match against American Marcos Giron. Karen Khachanov will play the Spaniard Bernabe Zapata-Miralles. Andrey Rublev will start the tournament with a match with Austria representative Dominik Thiem, Aslan Karatsev will play with Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria. Roman Safiullin had Australian Nick Kirios as rivals.
– In my opinion, the grid is not bad, depending on what could be. In any case, Karen is the favorite of the first round. Medvedev is also completely correct on the grid. Rublev’s first round is pretty tough, but it’s also my favorite.
Safiullin has a tough first opponent – Kiryos. Karatsev has Dimitrov, also difficult. And Kotov hit Dutchman Griskpur. Also a tough opponent, but Pavel lost the qualifying final and entered the main draw as a lucky loser. It’s already good. And who knows, these two matches he won in qualifying can also benefit. So let’s see how the guys are going to deal with this pressure, that is. But I think most of them will succeed, – quotes the words of Olkhovsky “Gazeta.Ru”.
