Two-time Grand Slam mixed doubles winner Andrei Olkhovsky named Pole Hubert Hurkacz a dangerous opponent for the Russian Daniel Medvedev in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
On Monday, in the fourth round of the tournament, Medvedev defeated Portuguese Nuno Borges with a score of 6:3, 7:6 (7:4), 5:7, 6:1 and reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. , where he will meet the Pole Hubert Hurkacz.
— I think Danya relaxed a little in this match, there was no tension needed. Everything was going well for him: 2:0 in sets, 5:3, his own serve – and maybe he was losing his concentration a little. An offensive breakdown which can be a real alarm signal. I wouldn’t want this to continue. I think Daniil, like everyone, was confident in his victory, but such situations with mistakes are not very pleasant in the game, after them you have to come back.
Hurkach is a dangerous opponent, and it is with him that Daniil should not allow such breakdowns as with Borges. The Pole serves well and in general can show very powerful and beautiful tennis. You have to play with him tenaciously on every point,” Olkhovsky said as quoted by RT.
The Australian Open will end on January 28.
