Chervichenko on the Australian Open final: “Medvedev fought like a beast. It’s a defeat we can’t be ashamed of.”

Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev I can’t be ashamed of losing the Australian Open final to an Italian Jannik sinner former Spartak president told Andrei Chervichenko .

Medvedev lost to Sinner with a score of 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 4:6, 3:6. The athletes spent 3 hours 44 minutes on the field.

— Excellent match, Medvedev showed more than I personally expected from him. The fourth match of the tournament in five sets, three in a row, but Danya fought like a beast. Sinner is very good, he is in incredible form now, he even beat Djokovic by one wicket. What baffles the Spanish and Italian athletes is how, three hours into the fifth set, they manage to run faster, hit harder and with more precision. The question is of course rhetorical. But again, Sinner had a fantastic tournament and has improved a lot over the last year.

— Yet Medvedev didn’t have enough strength after the difficult semi-final?

“I didn’t even imagine that Danya would last five sets. Maybe he didn’t have enough strength, anyone’s concentration can falter, but Sinner made no mistake. This is more of a victory for Sinner than a defeat for Medvedev; Daniil had an excellent match. This is a defeat that we cannot be ashamed of,” Chervichenko told .

Medvedev lost in the final of a Grand Slam tournament for the fifth time in his career, the third time at the Australian Open. In 2021, the 27-year-old Russian won the US Open. Sinner won the Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. He became the first Italian tennis player to win the Australian Open in singles.
