Andrey, two-time Grand Slam doubles winner Olkhovsky called the results of the Australian Open 2024 draw successful for Russian tennis players.
The draw for the main draw of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season took place on Thursday in Melbourne. Third-seeded Russian Daniil Medvedev will play with the winner of the qualifier at the start of the Australian Open, Karen Khachanov’s opponent (15th seed) will be German Daniel Altmaier, Roman Safiullin will compete with the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor (28) , Alexander Shevchenko will compete with the Spaniard Jaume Munyar, Pavel Kotov – with the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
— It’s not a bad draw for our guys. Even taking into account that Rublev has Sinner in the quarterfinals, and then, if he passes, then Djokovic. But, in my opinion, it is at this stage that strong opponents should be expected. There are no more weak people at such stages. So, it’s all right. Up to eight people can pass everyone.
Draw. In my opinion, Khachanov faces Sinner in the third round. Kotov also had a good first round. Safiullin can surprise depending on the play he showed. It’s a good draw, so we can expect very good results,” Olkhovsky said at the Championship.
Australian Open main draw matches begin on January 14.
