  • Emil Ruusuvuori will crush Daniil Medvedev!

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 14 17:42:52 2024
    Well, at least I hope so. I know it is unlikely.

    Hah hah! :-)

    Another Finn, Harri Heliövaara, also got a pretty
    tough draw in men's doubles. He plays with
    John Peers. If Heliövaara/Peers makes it to
    the second round, it is likely that they will
    face Koolhof/Mektic.

    If they make to the third round, then their
    likely opponent is Bopanna/Ebden. B/E is
    in good form, they just lost an ATP250 final
    to Ram/Salisbury 11-9 in the third set.

    Honestly I do not think Heliövaara/Peers
    can beat Bopanna/Ebden now, but who knows,
    there is always a slim chance.

    Peers had leg problems so his preparation
    for the Aussie Open suffered from that. Harri
    had to play one tournament with a relatively
    unknown Aussie player, but they did pretty
    well. They played a close match against
    Dodid/Krajicek, the world #1 pair.

    br,

    Good call. Wasn't far from happening.

    Indeed! And you had the courage to post before the match. Well called
    Kalevi!
