Athletistic/Tennis. President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev assessed that it would not be easy for Russian tennis players Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev to qualify for the playoffs of the ATP Finals tournament due to a difficult group.

“We were unlucky with the draw. Rublev and Medvedev had a difficult group. As they say, it’s the ‘group of death’. It will be difficult to take first or second place , and with such opponents it may not be possible to reach the playoffs. The second group, where Novak Djokovic, of course, is much easier,” Tarpishchev noted as quoted by TASS.

Russian tennis players Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev were part of a group with Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and German Alexander Zverev.

Group “Red”:

– Carlos Alcaraz (2, Spain)
– Daniil Medvedev (3, Russia)
– Andrey Rublev (5, Russia)
– Alexander Zverev (7, Germany)

“Green” group:

– Novak Djokovic (1, Serbia)
– Jannik Sinner (4, Italy)
– Stefanos Tsitsipas (6, Greece)
– Holger Rune (8, Denmark)
