Olympic tennis champion, former world number one Eugene Kafelnikov commented on the Russian’s victory Daniel Medvedev in the semi-final of the Australian Open with the representative of Germany Alexander Zverev .
Medvedev (3rd seed) defeated Zverev with a score of 5:7, 3:6, 7:6 (7:4), 7:6 (7:5), 6:3. The meeting lasted 4 hours 18 minutes.
“What happened in the match in the first two sets was entirely thanks to Zverev. He didn’t allow Medvedev to play properly. But then Daniil pulled himself together, something changed in his head, he began to appear more relaxed, that’s why he reversed the course of the meeting.
Can we consider that Medvedev showed character, did not give up and won in class? This is what sets top tennis players apart. To be honest, I’ve never seen Daniil play better than today. It was probably the best match he had,” quotes RT Kafelnikov.
Medvedev reached the final of the Australian Open for the third time in his career, where he will play alongside Italian Jannik Sinner (4).
