Andrey Chesnokov, former world number nine singles player and winner of seven ATP titles, commented on the Russian’s victory Daniel Medvedev above the pole Hubert Hurkacz at the 2024 Australian Open.
In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, the Russian defeated his opponent with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 2:6, 6:3, 5:7, 6:4.
— Hurkacz and Medvedev always play matches with switches. Either five sets at Wimbledon or in Toronto. It’s good that Danya won the first set and played the tie-break well. And after that his attention went away and he missed the second set. The start of the third set was phenomenal: two doubles in a row. And losing 0:40, well done for winning the game – that was very important. In the fourth set, Daniil played very well, but Hurkacz stepped up the game and started putting pressure on Medvedev. But there is a unique case that deserves to be included in tennis textbooks. The ninth racket against the third served four aces in a row with a score of 4:2! Since it all started. And in the fifth set there was a confrontation of physical forces. I didn’t expect Hurkacz to lose his serve. But he didn’t give up in the last match, when it seemed like everything was already over.
It was a very good match. It’s another highlight of the Australian Open. Rublev and de Minaur did it, and now Medvedev. He played this match much better than the previous one against Borges,” Chesnokov said as quoted by “Championship”.
Medvedev’s best result at the Australian Open is reaching the tournament final in 2021 and 2022.
