Famous Russian tennis player, the world’s first racket, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, shared his expectations for the semi-finals of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tournament held between Russian Daniil Medvedev and US representative Francis Tiafoe at American Indian Wells. After the previous match, Medvedev admitted that he played in the quarterfinals on painkillers due to leg problems. But this should not prevent the Russians from winning, according to Kafelnikov.
If the streak continues so far, he’s playing well and he has all the prerequisites to beat Thiafo, even though he has some minor issues with his leg. I don’t think it will have any effect. At the moment, I see no reason to worry about Daniil if he plays as he plays, ” Kafelnikov told socialbites.ca.
In the quarterfinals, Medvedev defeated Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina with a score of 6:3, 7:5. At the same time, during the match, the Russian tennis player received a medical break. The semi-final match with Tiafoe will be played on Saturday, March 18, and will start at 21:00 Moscow time.
