Multiple USSR champion Olga Morozova told that winning the Grand Slam tournament gives the Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev psychological advantage over the Italian Jannik sinner in the final of the Australian Open.
On Friday, Medvedev (3rd seed) defeated German Alexander Zverev (6) in the semi-final of the tournament 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 match, the Russian will meet Sinner, for whom it will be the first Grand Slam final. Medvedev will be playing his sixth final at this level. Before that, he only won the TBS once – at the US Open in 2021.
— During Grand Slam tournaments, it is very important to exert as little effort as possible from the first matches. The sinner did it. He approached the decisive match in better physical condition, but the final is also a question of psychology and incredible tension.
Every tennis player wants to become champion in the final match, but often many cannot cope with the excitement. We are waiting for an interesting game. Medvedev was a champion, that gives him an advantage. We will see interesting tennis,” Morozova told .
The score in personal matches is 6-3 in favor of the 27-year-old Russian. The 2024 Australian Open men’s singles final will take place on Sunday.
