Former world number nine Andrei Chesnokov told that he was not very happy with the performance. Daniel Medvedev at the Australian Open and that the Russian must play better to reach the semi-finals.
On Monday, Medvedev beat Portugal’s Nuno Borges 6:3, 7:6 (7:4), 5:7, 6:1 to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, where he will meet Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz .
— The match was not easy for Daniil. I didn’t understand at all how he gave the Portuguese the third set, leading 5:2! Borges used drop shots well and played well overall. Nuno has reached the fourth round of a Slam for the first time in his career. I saw him play at Roland Garros, he played against Isner in the first round. It looked very good. Borges played for the University of Mississippi in the United States; It doesn’t happen very often that you reach the ATP circuit at such a level.
I didn’t like the way Medvedev played in this match. Hurkacz is a solid player and will make fewer mistakes than the Portuguese. This will be a serious test for Medvedev.
—Did you expect Daniil to play better in the tournament?
— There are some things I don’t really like about Medvedev in Australia. He runs very far from the baseline. This will become negative in the match against Hurkacz. To beat the Pole, Dana needs to play better than in previous meetings,” Chesnokov told .
