The 2025 Australian Open has just reached the third round, and the three most outstanding Russian players in the ATP are all out. They are No. 5 seed Dmitry Medvedev, No. 9 seed Rublev and No. 19 seed Khachanov.
On the one hand, this is the sorrow of the post-95 players, and on the other hand, the sorrow of the Russians. At the moment, there are only five Russian players in the top 100, the other two being Safiulin and Kotov. And they're all 95 players. Even outside the top 100, there are very few young Russian players. Shepchenko, who was born in 2000, transferred to Kazakhstan shortly after entering the TOP100.
No. 9 seed RublevIn the first round, he lost to 18-year-old Fonseca of Brazil. This is very rare. It should be his worst result at a Grand Slam tournament in recent years.
It was also because of Rublev's exit that Fonseca became famous.
Coincidentally.No. 5 seed Dmitry MedvejeFollowing in Rublev's footsteps, he lost in the second round to another new generation player, Lena Money. It was a brilliant and tragic failure. Medvedev did his best, playing no less than five sets, and never saw him have such obvious fitness problems on the court. Tie-break ten games in the deciding set, 8:10 lost to Lerna money.
Similarly, Medvedev has also made another tennis rookie: Lerner. Money. This is a 19-year-old American player, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Alas! Medvedev, who has always been arrogant, how can he be embarrassed!
The last Russian player in the draw wasNo. 19 seed Khachanov, he was the furthest of the three, reaching the third round. However, he didn't get any further. In this morning's third round, Khachanov lost to another new generation player, American Mitchelson. The 20-year-old Mitchelson dropped straight sets to send Khachanov out. Khachanov, who reached the semifinals of the 2022 US Open, is known for his violent forehand and high-quality serve. However, Mitchelson's serve was stronger and his forehand was more violent.
Dmitry Medvedev, Rublev and Khachanov are Russia's three highest-ranked ATP players at the moment, and they share a shared past and deep friendship.
2025 Australian Open, the three of them finished their Australian Open journey together, hating the Melbourne court!
On the other hand, with their past records and popularity, they have made three new tennis talents - Fonseca, Lerna Money, and his close friend Mitchelson famous!!
