Multiple USSR champion Olga Morozova told that attempts to make the game more diverse were allowed. Daniel Medvedev pass it Alexandra Zvereva in the semi-final of the Australian Open.
Russian Medvedev (3rd seed) defeated German representative 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. In the final, Medvedev will face the Italian Jannik Sinner (4).
— I would like to congratulate Daniil for reaching the final. The start of the match was very difficult, he didn’t play the tennis we expected. There are reasons for this: firstly, Medvedev was tired, he had many difficult matches, and secondly, the Russian could not find his game.
The double faults in the first set were terrible, but we know that Daniil knows how to listen and find the key to victory. He tried everything: he went to the net, he shortened it, he changed the rhythm. Finally, it caused the opponent to fall. Medvedev won thanks to his intelligence. With the score 0-2 in sets, I was confident that Danya would find options to win. You can consider this match one of the best at the Australian Open this year,” Morozova told .
Medvedev has already made the Australian Open final in 2021 and 2022, but lost both times.
