Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev complained about the heat after winning the first round match of the Australian Open by rejection against Frenchman Terence Atman (5:7; 6:2, 6:4; 1:0). “Championship”.
“It hasn’t been this hot in the seven days I’ve been here. As the fight progressed, I became physically attached. I looked at what was happening to the Atman, whether it could move or not. “I wish him a good rest on the beach,” Medvedev said.
Atman had to withdraw from the match due to a leg injury he suffered early in the third set.
In the second round, Medvedev will fight against Finn Emil Ruusuvuori.
Daniil Medvedev is ranked third in the ATP world rankings. He has already reached two finals at the Australian Open; He lost to Rafael Nadal in 2021 and Novak Djokovic a year later in the latter. Last season, the Russian was eliminated in Melbourne, unusually early for him, in the third round.
