Athletistic/Tennis. 2016 Olympic champion and three-time winner of Grand Slam doubles tournaments, Russian tennis player Elena Vesnina, expressed her impressions of the final match of the 2024 Australian Open between Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner.

“I wasn’t surprised at all by Daniil’s aggressive start in the first sets. I understood that he had certain tactics for this match and that he knew how to beat Sinner. He started the match well and showed confidence, making his opponents nervous. But what caught my attention was the way the Italian improved his game, especially in the third set. Perhaps he no longer represents the future, but rather the present of men’s tennis.

I’m really sorry that Danya couldn’t win today, but anything can happen in tennis. He lost to a stronger opponent. Did Medvedev lack energy after the second set? This theory also has a right to life. In my opinion, his essence finally ran out in the fifth set. In the previous matches, he still managed to put pressure on Yannick, but in the fourth set I felt that maybe he didn’t have enough strength. Especially when he couldn’t convert an important break point at 3:3,” Vesnina quotes RT.

  • Medvedev compared the loss to Sinner in the 2024 Australian Open final with the loss to Nadal in the 2022 tournament final.
