2016 Olympic doubles champion Ekaterina Makarova in a conversation with a correspondent, she expressed hope that Russian tennis players Karen Khachanov and Andrei Rublev could face each other in the Australian Open final.
Previously, Russian Karen Khachanov reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open. In the quarterfinal match with American Sebastian Korda, the 26-year-old national athlete led with the score 7:6 (6:3), 6:3, 3:0, then the opponent refused to continue the game. In the next stage, Khachanov will play with the winner of the match between Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Czech Jiri Legechka. Another Russian tennis player, Andrey Rublev, will face nine-time tournament winner Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.
— What do you think of the prospects for the Russian final?
“I always believe in the best. In recent years, tennis has shown that absolutely anything is possible. The main thing is to believe in your victory, it’s cool to play, not to get exhausted. Yet on the other side of the pitch is the same person who may not feel so good, or something else may not fit. Everything is made of little things. Therefore, I will believe that our guys can play the final, Makarova told .
