Honored coach of Russia in tennis Vladimir Kamelzon found it difficult to name a favorite in the semifinal match of the Australian Open (AO) between Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The specialist spoke in an interview with a Lenta.ru correspondent.
“Two elite fighters of the world tennis meet, who know each other well. They are about the same age, they have been in the same team of top athletes for a long time. Of course, we will be rooting for Medvedev, we really want him to win, but from a professional point of view, I will rate the chances of the players as 50 to 50. It is very difficult to predict how this match will turn out, ”Kamelson predicted.
The coach also expressed the opinion that the balance of power will not be affected by the fact that the Russian in the quarterfinals had a five-set match, and the Greek won in three games. “Two days to recover is a decent amount of time for tennis. A whole team is working with Medvedev, which will definitely prepare him well for the game. The Russian needs to forget about the previous match and give it his all in today’s game, ”added Kamelzon.
Medvedev’s game against Tsitsipas will take place on Friday, January 28, and will begin at 11:30 Moscow time. The winner of this match in the final of the Australian Open will play with Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
