Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon told that Russian tennis players at the Paris Olympics need to prepare for various surprises.
In men’s singles, Daniil Medvedev, Roman Safiullin, Pavel Kotov and Aslan Karatsev are registered. Medvedev/Safiullin, Kotov/Karatsev will perform in pairs.
— We have a good men’s team. If we say Medvedev will lead this team, we will do a great job winning gold medals. The game will not be easy, because we are not the only ones who are so intelligent. Every tennis player will fight and show their skills. The only thing I can say is that our guys know this tennis stadium well, they know everything. There will be nothing new there, except the name of the tournament.
— In pairs, Medvedev will play with Safioullin and Kotov will play with Karatsev.
— It’s difficult to say about the couples, because we haven’t seen the guys in action. I’m optimistic, I prefer to wait and see how their match goes in Paris. We will have enough opponents there, but our guys have won the love of the world. The stands of Medvedev, Khachanov and Rublev are crowded. They have their fans. A lot of people understand that our guys play fair tennis. Well, let’s see how everything will be organized in Paris. The matches will be very difficult, you have to prepare for various surprises,” Kamelzon told .
Paris will host the Olympic Games from July 26 to August 11. The tennis tournament will take place on clay courts.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in December 2023 that it would allow Russian athletes who successfully qualify for the Olympics to individual neutral status without a flag, anthem or other national symbol.
