In today’s final match at the Australian Open between Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner, the former started off great with two straight-set wins. However, in the rest of the three sets where Sinner took the lead, it seemed that Medvedev looked tired, and his form didn’t appear to be getting any better. His fans obviously had questions about it.

In an interview after his loss, he was asked about what affected him throughout the match after the second set and if something was going on in his mind, especially the final loss he faced previously against Rafael Nadal, where a similar pattern was observed. Let’s check what he had to say!

Daniil Medvedev refused to be affected by the Rafael Nadal match two years back

Medvedev shared that he has moved past it when asked about being affected by the match two years ago at the Australian Open 2022. He added, “Yeah, I didn’t think much about the Rafa match because I really tried to leave it behind, so I don’t think it had any issues.”

Further, he also shared that he didn’t think he made any significant mistakes during the match, but it was more like Sinner started getting better. Medvedev commented, “I think what happened is he started to play better, a little bit different tactically.”

Not just that, Medvedev also shared that Sinner’s reaction to his aggressive shots was quite different from those of other players he had ever played. He stated in the interview that it seemed like Sinner was not getting tired.
