Italian Jannik Sinner will be a very dangerous opponent for Russian Daniil Medvedev in the final of the Australian Open, believes Olympic champion in pairs Elena Vesnina.
On Friday, world number three Medvedev defeated 6th seeded German Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the tournament with a score of 5:7, 3:6, 7:6 (7:4), 7:6 (7:5), 6:3. The meeting lasted 4 hours 18 minutes. Sinner in his semi-final defeated the world number one and 10-time Australian Open winner, Serbian Novak Djokovic – 6:1, 6:2, 6:7 (6:8), 6:3. The final match will take place on Sunday.
— Conditions in Australia are suitable for Daniil. He loves playing there, the surface and the atmosphere. At the beginning of the year he is fresh and has a lot of strength. He did a good job of preparing, which says a lot. But in the finals a very dangerous opponent awaits him. Yes, everyone expected Novak Djokovic, but I had doubts that he would beat Sinner. I thought that Yannick would win. And so it happened.
I can’t say that any of them is a clear favorite. The chances are 50 to 50. Whoever performs better in the first sets, who has stronger nerves, will win. Sinner is very strong right now. After defeating Djokovic, he will be more inspired,” the Championship quotes Vesnina.
