Vesnina believes that Daniil Medvedev was lucky with the draw at Roland Garros

The winner of three Grand Slam tournaments in doubles, Elena Vesnina, commented on the results of the Roland Garros draw for Russian Daniil Medvedev, and also assessed his chances of a successful performance in Paris.

The second racket of the world Daniil Medvedev will meet with the winner of the qualification or the tennis player who will get into the main draw as a lucky loser.

– Of course, Medvedev was lucky with the draw. It was important for Dani to get into the half without (world No. 1 Spaniard Carlos) Alcaraz and (Serbian Novak) Djokovic – and it happened. This should relieve him of the burden of responsibility. But this does not mean that the first matches will be easy. The first stages are the most important in the tournament. You need to start confidently. The main thing is that in the first round he does not get (Russian Aslan) Karatsev, who is finishing the qualification path.

I hope that in the first two or three matches Medvedev will feel the French soil and everything will turn out well. Of course, he has a chance to win Roland Garros this year. He has already surprised everyone at the Masters in Rome, so why not aim for something more? I consider Danya one of the clear favorites of the upcoming Grand Slam. Probably, first of all, Djokovic and Alcaraz will claim the title, and then Medvedev, – quotes the words of Vesnina “Championship”.

The main draw matches of the French Open will start on May 28.
