Andrey Olkhovsky, coach of the Russian tennis team, believes that Russian tennis players have successfully debuted at the Australian Open.
– To begin with, I would like to note a very confident victory Rublev on Tim. Karatsev lost to Dmitrov, there were tough conditions, maybe Aslan didn’t handle them very well, but the opponent wasn’t very cool. If we talk about women, then in my opinion Kudermetova and Aleksandrova played well, they won. Pavlyuchenkova played unsuccessfully, but it was the first tournament and the match turned out to be quite difficult. In general, the results in Australia are good for our tennis players. We are therefore entitled to hope for new successes at the Australian Open.
Yes, Rublev is now the most powerful Russian tennis player in terms of rankings, but let’s not overlook Medvedev. We place our hopes on them and we will encourage them. In my opinion, Andrey and Daniil show very solid and good tennis in the first match, Olkhovsky told Metaratings.ru.
In the second round, Rublev will meet the winner of the pair Max Purcell (Australia) – Emil Ruusuvuori (Finland), and Medvedev will play against Australian John Millman.
Kudermetova is waiting for the match against American Kate Volynets, and Aleksandrova – against Belgian Isaline Bonaventure. Daria Kasatkina will face compatriot Varvara Gracheva in the first round match.
