Former world No. 1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov hopes Daniil Medvedev can win the Australian Open, which kicked off in Melbourne on January 16.
On Monday, the Russian tennis player in the first round defeated the American Marcos Giron in three sets – 6:0, 6:1, 6:2.
– I would very much like Medvedev to play this year at the same level as last season. I would like him to reach the final at the Australian Open at least, and ideally win. There are prerequisites for this, today he played a great match, if he continues like this, then everything can be.
Yes, at the end of last season there were not the best results, but this is completely different. We hope everything goes well. Medvedev has the most chances at the tournament in Australia. Objectively, now he is stronger than both Khachanov and Rublev, Kafelnikov told Metaratings.ru.
In the second round, Medvedev will face Australia’s John Millman.
