Athletistic/Tennis. Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon expressed his expectations for the upcoming semi-final of the Australian Open between Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev and German athlete Alexander Zverev.

In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Medvedev beat Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in five sets, while Zverev beat Spaniard Alcaraz in four sets.

“Both Medvedev and Zverev are top 10 players. Judging by the rankings, Daniil is the favorite in this match. However, I think it will be a showdown between evenly matched tennis players. Both are products of the Soviet Union. The school and their coaches passed on valuable experience. Therefore, not only skills will play the main role here.

A clash of characters awaits us. If Medvedev is a charismatic and emotional athlete, then Zverev, with whom I know personally and have communicated several times, has a strong leadership character. He is able to remain calm during such important matches. Therefore, in the semi-finals we will see which will be stronger: charisma or composure, ”Kamelzon commented in a conversation with RT.

The Australian Open semi-final between Medvedev and Zverev is scheduled for January 26.
