On Thursday, Zverev defeated Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. He will face Russian Daniil Medvedev to reach the final.
“In the semifinals of the tournament in Melbourne, Russians will meet on the field. Zverev is as German as I am Chinese. I know his parents – they are from Sochi, they just live in another country. Yes, they I know German, but at home they always speak Russian. “Her father, Alexander Mikhailovich, is a brilliant coach who passed on to Sasha everything he knows about the Soviet tennis school. That’s why I consider him a Russian tennis player,” Kamelzon noted.
Zverev and Medvedev have met 18 times during their careers, with the Russian winning 11 matches. The semi-final of the Australian Open with their participation is scheduled for Friday.
