On Friday, January 20, the third round of competition kicked off at the Australian Open. In the men’s singles, three Russians continue to fight. One of them, Daniil Medvedev, will fight for a ticket to the 1/8 finals with American Sebastian Korda. Our tennis player is considered the favorite of the confrontation, but the fight promises to be difficult.
Daniil Medvedev has started his next Grand Slam title campaign with confidence. In the matches of the first and second rounds, the Russian faced his opponents without any problems. First, Daniil beat American Marcos Giron (6:0, 6:1, 6:2), after which he forced Australian John Millman to cover his racket (7:5, 6:2, 6 :2). However, tennis players who lost to Medvedev are no longer in the top 50 of the ATP rankings. Korda is a different level player and right now Sebastian is the 30th racket in the world. It will therefore certainly be more difficult for Daniil to play with the American than with the two previous opponents.
Korda began his career at the current Australian Open with a duel against Chilean Kristian Garin, in which he managed to win in four sets (6:4, 1:6, 6:3, 6:2 ). And in the second round match, Sebastian was stronger than the little-known Japanese Yosuke Watanuki (6:2, 7:5, 6:4). It should be noted that the American is 4 years younger than Daniel. Kordu is considered one of the most promising players of the coming years. Let’s not forget that Sebastian’s motivation will be good. Playing against Medvedev at the Australian Open is not for everyone.
By the way, tennis players have already played with each other once. In November 2021, Korda and Medvedev met at the Paris Masters, also as part of the third round fight. Then Daniil lost the first set to the American (4:6), but then he was able to rehabilitate and win in the next two games – 6:1, 6:3. We add that after this win over Sebastian , the Russian reached the final of the tournament. How will it be this time?
