This Ukrainian kid seems to be pretty talented. Hasn't even turned 18 yet, started the year ranked in the 1400s and is now at #374.
He has won not less than five futures titles this year and loves playing on clay. Lives in Kiev, coached by his father who was a pro in the 80's, plays right-handed with a double-handed backhand.
Has anyone ever seen him play? I believe the other 1988s like Korolev, Del Potro and Cilic have some company here (without the same amount of hype surrounding him of course).
Started at age 3, "I was training with Andrei Medvedev and started to play tennis".
Hobbies: Play soccer and fish
Favourite player: Marcelo Rios, "I guess I just like him".
The clean Dolgo is back playing in Madrid it seems, and he drew Seppi in R1. It's a very winnable match and one of the best matches for a qualifier in the draw, but he will likely be tired from playing a 3 1/2 hour match yesterday. Olek and Andreas are the third match on the second stadium court today.
Olek played really well today! Aggressive tennis. Served well and took it to Seppi. Made a few too many errors, though. He didn't get broken in the match and Seppi only had three opportunities. All in all, a good performance on the ATP level, which was much needed, and the fact it is at a Masters series should boost his confidence even more.
He plays Rafa next, so hopefully he can at least give a good account for himself in the biggest match of his career to date.
I watched him too ! he played a great match ! I loved his confidence how he looked enjoying playing against Nadal really proud to be his fan Bravoo Oleks
R Gasquet (FRA) d A Dolgopolov (UKR) 60 26 63 !!!
