Olympic champion Elena Vesnin assessed the chances of the world’s third largest racket Daniel Medvedev in the semi-finals of the 2024 Australian Open.
On January 24, Medvedev defeated Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in five sets and advanced to the semifinals of the tournament, where he will face Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
— What are Daniil Medvedev’s chances in the semi-final?
– The highest. I think Daniil wants to win every match and sets a goal to win every tournament. Moreover, during Grand Slam tournaments, Daniil systematically reaches the semi-finals. And the Australian Open, one could say, was a successful TBS for him. Yes, he didn’t win it, he was twice in the final, but it seems to me that the conditions on the “green continent” suit him. And he feels comfortable on the courts of Melbourne.
— Will he manage to break his streak without winning the Australian Open final?
– I think he can. He beat Djokovic and the opponents that exist, he beat them all. Therefore, anything is possible: the ball is round. Daniel knows his abilities, the main thing is that he has enough strength. Because the format of matches in five sets requires a lot of energy. I hope Daniil will have enough and win the Australian Open,” Vesnina said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Serbian Novak Djokovic and Italian Jannik Sinner will play in the second semi-final of the men’s draw at the Australian Open.
