Russian tennis player Anastasia Pivovarova, the former second racket in the world among juniors, spoke about Daniil Medvedev’s victory over Portuguese Nuno Borges in the fourth round of the Australian Open. In a comment to socialbites.ca, he admitted that he was surprised and partially frightened by the Russian player’s performance.
“Impressions after Medvedev’s match are completely mixed; He could have won in three sets. He was ahead 5:2, he had match points, but somewhere there were double errors and he lost the set 5:7. It’s good that I pulled myself together and won in the fourth, but it was a completely incomprehensible turn of events for me. He could have easily won against such a non-senior player and it is unclear what happened to him. This scares me a little, because from now on there will be more serious rivals and it is still a mystery to me how he will play at this level,” Pivovarova said.
Medvedev defeated Borges in four sets with scores of 6:3, 7:6 (7:4), 5:7, 6:1. His next opponent will be Pole Hubert Hurkacz, this match is scheduled to be played on Wednesday night, January 24, Moscow time.
