Honored tennis coach of Russia Viktor Yanchuk spoke about the victory Andrei Rublev at a tournament in Hong Kong, believing it is a good sign ahead of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season, the Australian Open, which will be held from January 14 to 28 in Melbourne.
Rublev won the ATP tournament held in Hong Kong, this title became the 15th in his career in singles, thanks to which he overtook Marat Safin and is second behind Daniil Medvedev (20 years old), Nikolay Davydenko (21 years old) and Yevgeny Kafelnikov among the Russians.
— That Rublev won is a good sign. He is in good shape. Perhaps he will have an advantage over other tennis players who have not had time to get in shape. This will be the first important tournament, and its title is a candidacy for a successful performance,” Yanchuk quotes Gazeta.Ru.
At AO‑2024, Rublev is seeded fifth and will meet Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wilde in the first round. The Russian’s best result at the Australian Open was reaching the quarterfinals in 2021 and 2023.
