Athletistic/Tennis. Honored Coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon expressed admiration for the ability of Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev to gather strength in difficult moments and find the optimal solution that eliminates the possibility of defeat. In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Medvedev defeated Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 2:6, 6:3, 5:7, 6:4.

“It’s important to remember who you had to face.” There is no place for ordinary opponents in the quarterfinals. All the players at this stage represent a high level. The eight current participants are simply unique. Unfortunately, we have already lost Andrei Rublev, but Daniil Medvedev has confirmed his status.

The match with Hubert Hurkacz was really exciting. The advantage in the game shifted first to one side, then to the other. Medvedev showed an individual approach not only to the game itself, but also to his character. He learned not to give up, even in the face of unexpected failures and setbacks. However, Daniil knows how to straighten himself up and find the optimal path in which victory becomes inevitable.

Either Zverev or Alcaraz await him in the semi-final. Additionally, all players are at a high level. This is going to be a tough fight. Five sets certainly take their toll, and now you need to recover. If this succeeds, then Medvedev will advance even further and we will be able to see him in the final. At the very least, I would be happy to see him there,” shared his opinion in an interview with Match TV.
