Medvedev told how an early departure from the Australian Open – 2023 affected his form

Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev said that an early departure from the Australian Open 2023 gave him more time to prepare for other tournaments.

Medvedev on Saturday in the decisive match of the tournament in Dubai beat compatriot Andrei Rublev with a score of 6:2, 6:2. The former world No. 1 extended his winning streak to 14 matches and won his third ATP title in a row.

— Yes, we have every tournament going on week after week. Of course, you try physically, especially under the Grand Slams, so that you feel the best. But very often it still doesn’t work – all the players do the same, everyone wants to win and there is always a loser. It was a good preseason. It turned out that I played badly in Australia, so we managed to prepare more for Rotterdam for some time. I didn’t withdraw from tournaments, I decided to play everything, because I knew that I was physically capable and I feel great. It turned out to get in shape and maintain it during the tournaments, – Medvedev told the “Championship”.

Medvedev was knocked out in the third round of the Australian Open by American Sebastian Korda.
