Former world ninth runner in singles Andrey Chesnokov estimated the chances of Russia’s first runner Daniel Medvedev at the next Australian Open.
He still plays very well in Australia. Last year he already, consider, won the Australian Open, there was literally only one step left. With the score 3:3 in the third set, Nadal’s serve was 0:40… But when you play against Nadal… You see, even if he won this match, Nadal wouldn’t give up.
They had a game in the final in 2019, when the score was 5:1, Daniil led with two breaks, but Nadal still won in the tiebreak in the deciding set. And the only game that Medvedev won against Nadal was also in the final a year later… There Nadal led the games and served in the second set of the match, but Danya bounced back, took the set in a tie- break and finally won the final and reached the final! They always have crazy matches.
Medvedev, of course, will be one of the favorites in the tournament, but there are Alcaras and Nadal, who always plays very well in this tournament, and the same Djokovic, so everything is possible,” Chesnokov told Gazeta.Ru.
Earlier, it became known that the Australian Tennis Federation decided not to exclude Russian and Belarusian tennis players from participating in the Australian Open, which will be held from January 16 to 29, 2023.
