Olkhovsky believes in the successful start of Russian tennis players at the Australian Open

Former Russian tennis player Andrei Olkhovsky expressed the opinion that Russian tennis players are able to successfully start at the Australian Open.

Daniil Medvedev starts the tournament with a match against American Marcos Giron. Karen Khachanov will play Spaniard Bernabé Zapata-Miralles. Andrey Rublev will start the tournament with a match with the representative of Austria Dominik Thiem, Aslan Karatsev will play with Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria. Roman Safiullin got Australian Nick Kyrios as rivals.

– In my opinion, the grid is not bad, based on what could be. In any case, Karen is the favorite in the first round. Medvedev is also quite all right on the grid. Rublev’s first round is quite difficult, but he is also my favorite.

Safiullin has a difficult first opponent – Kiryos. Karatsev has Dimitrov, also difficult. And Kotov hit the Dutchman Griskpur. Also a difficult opponent, but Pavel lost the qualification final and entered the main draw as a lucky loser. This is already good. And who knows, those two matches that he won in qualifying may also benefit. So let’s see how the guys will cope with this pressure, which is. But I think most of them will perform successfully, – quotes the words of Olkhovsky “Gazeta.Ru”.
