Two-time Grand Slam doubles winner Andrei Olkhovsky called an American Amanda Anisimova “dark horse” of the 2024 Australian Open after his victory over the Russian Lyudmila Samsonova in the first round.
Samsonova, seeded 13th, lost to world number 442 Anisimova in the first round of the Australian Open with a score of 3:6, 4:6. The meeting lasted 1 hour 24 minutes.
— Anisimova is a dark horse. She beat Pavlyuchenkova in the last tournament, and now she beats Samsonova. She can play, she was just injured and hadn’t played in about a year before this tournament. Samsonova did not have enough matches, but Anisimova also showed good tennis, Vprognoze.ru quotes Olkhovsky.
Anisimova’s next opponent at the Australian Open will be determined based on the results of the match between Nadya Podoroska (Argentina) and Tamara Zidansek (Slovenia).
