Shamil Tarpishchev: No difference, will we play with Serbs or Germans in the semi-finals of the ATP Cup

Tennis

RTF President Shamil Tarpishchev commented on the entry of the Russian national team into the playoffs of the ATP Cup in an interview with Sport-Express.

– Who looked more convincing today – Medvedev or Rublev?
– In reality, they both played decently, but Rublev had a slight glitch on the first serve: there was a very small percentage. And in terms of playing qualities, they play normally, but, of course, they have not worked out yet. Now is just the beginning, so the nervous system must still gain reliability so that there are no drops.

– It is clear that everything will also depend on the opponents, but, most likely, they will be the Serbs, led by Djokovic. What are our chances here?
– It’s not a fact that the Serbs will become our rivals. Germany can still beat them.

– Then who will be preferable?
– So we don’t care, this is a preparatory tournament. We do not consider it as the main one. People are preparing for the Australian Open, so it is natural that they have to work hard, for this tournament there was no such preparation as for the Davis Cup, that it must be won. By rating – we are the favorites. Naturally, all of us and the guys want them to win, but there will be no earthquake if someone loses.

Who is more preferable? There is no difference. On the second number, both there and there should win. More stubborn matches will be on the first numbers. It is not necessary to say who is now in more ideal shape, because the season has just begun, and it is not yet clear how Djokovic and Zverev will play today.
