Honored tennis coach of Russia Anatoly Abashkin said in an interview with socialbites.ca that Daniil Medvedev could not win the final of the Australian Open (2024) due to fatigue.
In his opinion, the match against Jannik Sinner was not the longest match, but compared to other five-set matches, it was difficult for the Russian to prove himself.
“This match turned out to be really long, but tennis history knows longer matches. Another thing is that Daniil spends more than 24 hours in total on the courts, this is a significant load on the body. He was much more tired than Sinner, which affected the result,” Abashkin said.
Daniil Medvedev lost to Italian Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open 2024 final. The match, which lasted 3 hours and 44 minutes, ended with scores of 3:6, 3:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:3 in 5 sets. Medvedev won the first two sets but then lost three games.
