In 2021, at the Australian Open 2021, three Russian tennis players reached the quarter finals for the first time in history. Among them were Daniil Medvedev, Andrei Rublev and Aslan Karatsev.
Now this result has been repeated at Wimbledon. Roman Safiullin, Andrei Rublev and Daniil Medvedev reached the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam tournament.
27-year-old Medvedev beat Czech Jiri Legechka in the 4th round. Safiullin beat Argentinean Guido Pella. Rublev turned out to be stronger than Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan.
In the quarter finals, Rublev will meet Serbian Novak Djokovic. Safiullin will have to play with Italian Jannik Sinner, and Medvedev will have a match with American Christopher Eubanks.
2‑time champion of Russia 2022 in ITF, champion of Moscow 2022 Olga Sabelnikova especially for Men Today shared her forecast for the upcoming matches: “Medvedev will come next. I believe in Danya 100%. Djokovic is more likely to win against Rublev, and Sinner against Safiullin. Although I root for our guys. Or rather, Safiullin still has a chance. It is quite possible that he will pull against Sinner. Played stellar before, he’s a great netminder. I root for Rublev with all my heart, and if he hits and hits without flinching, then there is also a chance. Wimbledon is a game on grass, there is always roulette and everyone has a chance. Everything will be decided by the serve and the play at the net.”
A video from the match between Rublev and Bublik, where the Russian masterfully takes a point, is gaining popularity on social networks. Tennis legend Mats Wilander called it the best shot in history after the game.
