Former Elena Vesninas coach commented on chances at the Australian. Cheskonov feels confident about the two main Russian players possibilities. The end of the last season was amazing for Karen, said Cheskonov, as quoted by Championat.
He started with the American swing (Toronto, US Open) and then won in Paris, which was a surprising result. The beginning of this season is another story. He lost in the first round of the first tournament. For the player winning is important not just for points but the confidence as well.
Confidence comes with wins. He absolutely has everything – a forehand, a backhand, a baseline game. He can absolutely beat everyone, even Nadal. Medvedev started very well like he did last year winning in Sydney. This time he lost to Nishikori in the Brisbane final.
But its still a good result because Nishikori is a top ten player. If Khachanov didnt win in Paris, he would have been behind Medvedev. Two or three years ago it would be a a surprise if one of our guys reached a Grand Slam fourth round.
Now, I would be upset if I did not see one of our men in the fourth round. They can go far. They can do something unbelievable. Russian Tennis Federation chief said: We finally have more hopes on the guys.
Khachanov and Medvedev can do well in Australia. Speaking of a title is still too early but they progressed. They are consistent and they are playing at the same level as top 20 players. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
