Olympic champion in speed skating, State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova reacted to the competition of the tennis player of the Russian national team Daniil Medvedev over Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarterfinals of the first Australian Open Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne.
“I am very happy for Medvedev, we need to lead in the same spirit. I hope that the matter will not be limited to the semi-finals. No need to wait ahead of time, otherwise you can jinx his success. Danya shows a real Russian character. He is a great fellow, bravo!” — quotes Zhurova “Sport-Express”.
She noted that even in the most hopeless situation, you can’t give up, you can save any match. In her opinion, much here depends on the psychological preparation of the player.
“Of course, I would very much like Danya to repeat the success of the US Open. We all believe in him and wish him good luck,” added Zhurova.
Medvedev defeated Auger-Aliassime in 4 hours and 42 minutes after two lost starting sets with a score of 6:7 (4:7), 3:6, 7:6 (7:2), 7:5, 6:4 and will meet in the semifinals with the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
