The two captains. Youzhny and Tipsarevic will fight for “North Palmyra Trophies”
There are just over two weeks left before the start of the “North Palmyra Trophies 2024”. While some athletes are on vacation gaining strength, others are preparing or have already left for the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup team competitions. Meanwhile, the captains who will lead the “Lions” and “Sphinxes” teams in St. Petersburg from November 29 to December 1, 2024, are already working out a winning strategy.
This year's captains are Serbian Janko Tipsarevic, the permanent mentor of the team tournament in St. Petersburg, and Russian Mikhail Youzhny, who is making his debut in this role. They have met on court many times during their professional careers, with their head-to-head statistics 5–3 in favor of Youzhny. By the way, the last time their H2H confrontation took place on the courts of St. Petersburg Open 2016, where Youzhny won a difficult victory in two sets — 6:3, 7:5. Both athletes have a Davis Cup title. And the highest ranking position in singles, which was achieved by Tipsarevic and Youzhny, is eighth. The two captains have coaching experience, so this battle of strategy titans will definitely be interesting to watch.
The teams’ presentation will take place on November 29, the opening day of the III International team tennis tournament “North Palmyra Trophies” on the center court of KSK “ARENA”.
