In an interview with socialbites.ca, former world number two Anastasia Pivovarova talked about what tactical mistakes Daniil Medvedev made against Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open final.
The Russian tennis player won the first two sets with scores of 6:3 and 6:3, but then lost in three consecutive sets (4:6, 4:6, 3:6). was defeated in the match.
“We can say that Daniil was ahead 2-0 in the sets and we can say that he could have played differently in the third set with a score of 4:4. But that’s how it turned out.
However, I would like to emphasize that Medvedev should have made more attacks starting from the second serve, because he had the chance to take a break in the third set and the following sets, when Sinner’s serve failed. However, Medvedev did not use them.
“It remains a mystery to me why Daniil, in such a situation, when there was not enough energy and strength, did not take risks and did not attack more on the second serve,” Pivovarova said.
Previously known as Medvedev he helped his rival In the Australian Open final.
