Two-time winner of Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky positively assessed the performance of Russian tennis players at the Australian Open.
Of the five Russian tennis players who started at the Australian Open, Daniil Medvedev reached the final, Andrey Rublev reached the quarterfinals, Karen Khachanov reached the fourth round, Pavel Kotov reached the second round, and Roman Safiullin finished the fight in the first round.
— The guys played quite well. Rublev showed good tennis, Khachanov too. Things didn’t work out a bit for Safiullin. And Kotov for the first time in his career overcame the first round at a Grand Slam tournament. Also a very good result. Therefore, I think that overall it turned out to be a good Australian Open for Russian tennis. And we tried, and played quite well,” Olkhovsky told Vprognoze.ru.
