It was the night of the second semi-finale at the Australian Open 2021. In an exciting clash, it was World No.4 Daniil Medvedev who emerged as the winner and earned a ticket to the finale. Although his opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas played really well, he was not able to outperform Medvedev. The final scoreline of the match was 6-4, 6-2, 7-5.
In the post-match interview, Stefanos Tsitsipas faced a tricky question. Although the World NO.6 player is no longer a part of the Australian Open 2021, he was asked to pick the winner between Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. In response, the 22-year-old claimed that it would not be strange if Medvedev would go on to win the title.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see Daniil win the tournament,” began Tsitsipas. “But it’s a strange scenario. I played Rafa here 2 years ago and found his performance against me phenomenal. I was 100% sure he was gonna win the tournament. And I ended up being wrong.”

Even though Tsitsipas indirectly backed Medvedev for the title, he admitted that it is a strange scenario. He recalled that two years ago, he predicted that Rafael Nadal would win the Australian Open easily after he defeated him. However, Rafa failed to do so as he lost to Djokovic in the finals. Keeping that in mind, Tsitsipas highlighted that there was no surety about anything.
