The large number of five-set matches at the Australian Open did not allow Daniel Medvedev keep your strength for the final, says Olympic tennis champion, former world number one Eugene Kafelnikov .
Medvedev lost to the Italian on Sunday Jannik sinner in the final with a score of 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 4:6, 3:6. The Russian played four five-set matches at the 2024 Australian Open.
— Daniil spent almost twice as much time on the pitch before the final as Sinner. It’s a shame we couldn’t close the match in three sets. But Medvedev could not find additional strength in himself. And Sinner was able to get the keys back, recovered psychologically and hung on to the game like a pit bull. Statistics never lie. Daniil fell back so far that there just wasn’t enough for the last 5 sets. The third set was decisive,” Kafelnikov told Sport24.
