Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon was confident that Daniil Medvedev would not have problems in the match against Portuguese Nuno Borges in the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open.
On Monday, Medvedev beat Portugal’s Nuno Borges 6:3, 7:6 (7:4), 5:7, 6:1 to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, where he will meet Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz .
— 3-1 — a good score. I didn’t anticipate any surprises in Medvedev and Borges’ performance: everything went as it should. I didn’t think Medvedev would have problems with the Portuguese. He plays slowly and the guys he meets along the way don’t give him a problem.
But then, in the quarterfinals, the most interesting things will happen. Both Caso and Hurkacz are tough competitors, let’s be real. If there were no great rivals, what would Medvedev and Rublev look like? At this stage, the opponents are already difficult and there is no time to waste set points or set losses. Such a trick will not work there. We already have good teams, they will develop a strategy and not give up. But the rivals will not seem enough. They cannot be underestimated,” Kamelzon was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
