Honored Coach of the RSFSR Viktor Yanchuk said that Russian tennis players are now in their prime and are ready to fight for victory in Grand Slam tournaments, and the greatest spirit is Andrei Rublev.
“Our guys are at a golden age where they have to show a good game. They are already very experienced, but not yet veterans. Now is the perfect time to grab the “helmet.” Rublev, who has yet to win a Grand Slam, is probably particularly keen on this. Last year he won a very good and solid tournament in Monte Carlo, where everyone played. This suggests that he can win a big tournament, but if he doesn’t start himself, if he doesn’t burn out internally. He really wants to win, and sometimes that leads him to make mistakes on simple goals. He creates problems for himself because of this, because if he is in good shape, he can beat anyone,” Yanchuk was quoted as saying by Gazeta.Ru.
Rublev has reached the quarterfinals of the tournament twice (2021 and 2023).
The Australian Open will take place from January 14 to 28.
