Australian Open: Medvedev wins another victory and advances to the third round

Athletistic/Tennis. Today, January 18, was the third matchday of the Australian Open 2023 tennis tournament.

The second round of the Australian Open 2023 was successfully overcome by Daniil Medvedev. A native of Moscow met Australian John Millman and won with the score 7:5, 6:2, 6:2.

“I think it was a great game. The score in the second and third rounds doesn’t reflect what was happening on the pitch. First of all, he managed to make three breaks on my serve, which doesn’t happen not very often.little disappointed with his game,but Millman played very well,so much respect for John.

Long prints? I think it was difficult for both of us. At first, I felt tired and thought, “How can I deal with this?” But then I realized it was also difficult for him,” Medvedev said after the game.

“A good victory for Medvedev, and above all, a confident victory. There are difficult moments in every game – today it happened in the first set. The Australians are very loudly sick. You can see that Danya is getting fitter from match to match. That’s usually the case with the best tennis players. More to come! Fingers crossed for Medvedev. He definitely has a shot at winning a title in Australia!” – said the 2016 Olympic champion in doubles Elena Vesnina.

“Today Daniil got a nice and confident win over an experienced opponent who is playing in front of his home crowd. Does he have a chance of reaching the Australian Open title with such a game? In terms of level of play, Daniil is always one of the clear contenders for the titles in all the tournaments he participates in,” said Alexei Selivanenko, Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation.
