Athletistic/Tennis. Two-time Grand Slam doubles winner Andrei Olkhovsky expressed his views regarding the defeat of Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev to Italian Jannik Sinner in the final of the Australian Open.

“It’s a really disappointing defeat for Medvedev in five sets. At the start of the match, he had an advantage, especially in the first two sets, thanks to his phenomenal concentration. In the third set, Yannick recovered a little and started to defend his serves more successfully. In the fourth set, Medvedev had a score of 3: 3 – real chances to change the course of the game. It’s a shame, but Medvedev showed an excellent game in the final. However , in such a long match, it seems that he lacked a little strength.

Medvedev did not have any particular problems in this fight. Initially, it was said that Sinner was playing at a higher level, but Medvedev psychologically put pressure on Yannick in the first two sets, showing a game that many did not expect from him, “Olkhovsky noted in an interview with a correspondent of the “Championship”.

Recall that in the final of the Australian Open Medvedev (3) lost to Sinner (4) with a score of 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 4:6, 3:6. This title marked the 22-year-old Italian’s debut in the Grand Slam category.
