“Sinner was the best player in the world at the Australian Open, that’s why he won the tournament. He can become the first racket” – Medvedev

Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev think he’s Italian Jannik sinner is currently the best player in the world, so he deserved the title at the Australian Open.

Medvedev lost to Sinner with a score of 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 4:6, 3:6. The meeting lasted 3 hours 44 minutes.

— You said earlier that if he continues to play like this, he will become world number one and win many Grand Slam tournaments. He won the Australian Open. Do you already see him as the best player in the world right now or do you still think it’s Novak (Djokovic)?

“I think that’s why we have grades.” He was the best player in the world at that tournament and that’s why he won it. But you never know what will happen next. He is now number 1 in the race. He will continue to play like this, he will continue to win such tournaments and one day he will be at the top of the rankings. You never know what could happen.

That’s why I think tennis is a wonderful sport, because you can’t see the future. Again, if he stays healthy and plays like he did here, at some point he’ll be No. 1. But, you know, a lot of players have gone through different times during their season and their career, so let’s see how Yannick handles it all. .

“I just wonder what it’s like to face Yannick when he hits those shots and is it different from other players?

– Yes, he hits hard. In terms of average speed, I think he’s in the top three, maybe top five, maybe first because he hits so hard.

Now he makes few mistakes, so he has a Grand Slam, many titles and wins many matches. Personally, I hope that the next time I meet him, he will make mistakes like he did in the first two sets, because he almost didn’t miss his shot,” Medvedev said at a conference Press.

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.
