“It seemed to me that the critical moment was the 5:1 match in the second set, when Medvedev lost his serve against Sinner. I expected that this would play into Jannik’s hands. After that match, Sinner felt he could take Medvedev’s serve. “He served, and then he did it successfully. Sinner became more precise in his reception, changed tactics in the exchanges and everything changed. If Medvedev had not lost his serves in two sets, the match would have logically ended in three sets. But this impact of the loss of service greatly influenced the game,” Kafelnikov noted in an interview with the “Championship” correspondent.
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 was the debut for the 22-year-old Italian.
