Multiple USSR tennis champion Olga Morozova told that the good physical form and high level of play of Italian Jannik Sinner affected the psychological state of Novak Djokovic, which did not not allowed the Serbian to reach the final of the Australian Open.
Sinner beat Djokovic 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3 on Friday. For the first time in his career, the Italian reached the final of a Grand Slam tournament, where his opponent will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev. Djokovic lost at the Australian Open for the first time since 2018, his winning streak at the tournament was 33 matches.
— We haven’t seen Djokovic like he did after the first two sets of the match against Sinner in a long time. When you see that your opponent plays at a high level, goes through every match without losing strength, plays with reserves, then you begin to think about what is happening to you. Novak has had some tough matches before, and Sinner is an energetic and beautiful young man who breezed through the entire tournament in one fell swoop. Yannick won this match with dignity, although he got nervous in the third match,” Morozova told .
Sinner is the fourth racket in the world and the 22-year-old Italian has 10 ATP titles to his name.
