 | Elena Vesnina: Medvedev and Rublev have good chances to qualify from the group at the final tournament17-11-2022 |
Elena Vesnina commented on the results of the draw for the final ATP tournament.
Daniil Medvedev, Andrei Rublev, Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas were in the same group.
Getting Daniil and Andrey into the same group increases the chances that one of them will definitely have one victory. It is very important. Since this is a group stage, even a player who has one win and two losses can reach the semi-finals. Because then there is a calculation for points, games and so on. Of course, I would like both of our athletes to pass. But the group is very strong. Novak Djokovic is the leader and the main favorite. But everything is possible: it`s the end of the season, and those who made it to the final tournament will do their best to show the best performances.
Both Andrey and Daniil have good chances to pass the subgroup, at least. Each of them wants to win. It doesn`t matter that they are teammates and longtime buddies. On the court they will sort things out, who wins is the best. Daniel is preferred. He is higher in the ranking, and more titled, and a year older. But Rublev beat Medvedev. Therefore, I think that this will be a very interesting confrontation, and I would not want to give the palm to someone in advance, ”Sport-Express quotes Vesnina as saying.
