Medvedev and Rublev can force Djokovic to challenge for Australian Open title, says Yanchuk

Russia’s Honored Coach Viktor Yanchuk told that Russian tennis players Daniel Medvedev And Andrei Rublev capable of challenging current title holder Novak Djokovic for the Australian Open trophy.

The Australian Open will take place from January 14 to 28.

— Will Djokovic be able to defend his title in Australia? Who will be the tournament favorite?

— It’s difficult to say, because young people are very persistent. Sinner, Alcaraz, Medvedev and Rublev can give their best in any tournament. There are many contenders. Djokovic will have to try hard. He has a lot of skills, Novak cannot be written off, although his chances decrease over time, they become fewer and fewer, but they are there.

Djokovic could, in some scenarios, win another Grand Slam tournament. I don’t know if it will succeed in Australia. They can already beat him because he’s a veteran with a little less speed. The fittest tall player can win the trophy. Maximum form means a lot here. It’s only the beginning of the season, so it’s hard to say which players are in what condition,” Yanchuk told .

Medvedev and Rublev are the third and fifth rackets in the world, respectively. Djokovic is ranked first in the ATP rankings.
