Former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov hope that Daniel Medvedev will be able to win the Australian Open, which started in Melbourne on January 16.
On Monday, the Russian tennis player in the first round beat the American Marcos Giron in three sets – 6:0, 6:1, 6:2.
– I would very much like Medvedev to play this year at the same level as last season. I would like him to at least reach the Australian Open final, and ideally win. There are prerequisites for that, today he played a great match, if he continues like this, then everything can be.
Yes, at the end of last season there were not the best results, but that’s completely different. We hope everything will go well. Medvedev has the most chances at the tournament in Australia. Objectively, he is now stronger than Khachanov and Rublev, Kafelnikov told Metaratings.ru.
In the second round, Medvedev will face Australian John Millman.
