After Medvedev defeated Frenchman Terence Atman in the first round with a score of 5:7, 6:2, 6:4, 1:0 (the opponent refused to continue due to health problems).
Yanchuk believes that the tournament ranking seems normal for Medvedev. He expects the tennis player to breeze through the first few rounds and gradually gain fitness and confidence as the competition progresses. Yanchuk claims that Medvedev has enough confidence, is not afraid to face opponents and is ready to face anyone.
Medvedev’s next opponent at the Australian Open will be Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori. In the final stages of the tournament, the Russian could face Canadian Felix Auger-Alassime, Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov or Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina.
